Bonfires and Beer

From the Desk of Scott:

There was some sort of organized protest on the main drag in Ushuaia today.  No one I spoke with knew the details but this is how it went down.  The main commercial street through downtown was blocked by delivery trucks and large scale dirt moving equipment.  In the middle of the street, there were huge stacks of wooden pallets.  Later in the evening, they turned the pallets into bonfires in the middle of the street.  Lots of drums pounding and firecrackers cracking.  I'm sure we'll hear tomorrow what is was all about, but at least the Dublin Pub was open.  This place has a really good sandwich.  You start with a deep fried thin slab of steak.  Add an egg, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a nice roll.  Quite tasty when washed down with a Beagle Amber ale.
