RIOT POLICE PROTECT THE RHK´´S IN BUENOS AIRES

RIOT police surround the entrances to the sheraton park tower where the rhk¨s are staying one more nite.....its a huge labor protest and police are here in riot gear, etc...

just now after one hour they are leaving, but the riot police with shields still block the entrances...

WE ARE SAFE AND WILL RETURN HOME TOMORROW

Fimally, justice is served. Bob trapped in a Sheraton. Bob caught in a labor struggle. Irony is a dish best served cold.(Don, don't bother, I know the actual quote.) How sweet is this?

Please keep us informed about your conditions of house arrest. What a send-off on your last night!

Between the attempted mugging and this situation, you certainly should have some good stories to tell at the Boston GTG. Have a safe trip home.

Looks like Bob knows how to have an exciting time in BA, LOL.
Kind of excitement you could do without, I bet.

Good luck and make it back safely to the airport.

Bob, don your best jewels and head out onto the balcony pronto. The crowd is waiting for your rendition of Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

It won't be easy,
You'll think I'm strange
When I try to explain why I squeal,
While writing these posts with Argentine guns,
Pointing their barrels at me...

Do you think Bob will ever learn the appropriate use of apostophes? One wonders when the use of two consecutive "'" would be appropriate. Maybe in Needham.

What is his native language? fein? He's kidding, isn't he? This reminds me of the cab ride in BKK where Bob and the driver talked for 20 minutes and neither understood a single word uttered by the other. Truly priceless. I'm guessing there are many hotel GM's that wish they had a similar experience.
