A lot of the protestors went nuts down in the City Center. Thankfully I avoided must of it, as I didn't get back from Villavacencio until 3pm or so, and then took Transmilenio to the Stadium to watch the Millionarios play. I watched Bush arrive at the military airport on Caracol, then switched to watch Evo Morales talk like a moron for awhile.
Big big big stuff here. Everyone was talking about it and going nuts. Security was the tightest I've ever seen here. Alcohol was banned from 2am Sunday morning until 6pm tonight. Numerous searches were going on, and there were probably about 30k police or troops securing the area. I was actually a bit worried an attack would take place somewhere else (while the troops were protecting Bush), but nothing happened. Transmilenio was safe, no bombs, and the FARC and other groups was held in check. Regardless of Bush's politics or your own personal beliefs, today was a victory for the Colombian people.
