Yikes

So the hotel that I stayed in just 5 short days ago was getting molotov cocktails and rocks thrown at it by rioters yesterday. The fireball in the very beginning of this video is actually on the steps of our hotel. Most of the fire bombs and rioting that they show is happening in the square which was right in front of the hotel (and also in front of the Parliament building, which I guess is the reason for the location). All of the shots from up high are actually from the rooftop that we ate at and took pictures from.

Really scary to think of how close we were to coming across this... something to be thankful for these holidays.
