I was tired and decided not to take my nice camera. Instead, I tossed my point and shoot in my purse and off we went. Boy did I miss a great photo op!
Not sure if you can get the full detail, but when we arrived at the top of the stairs, we were met by chants, beating drums and a mass of people. Police were everywhere. We decided to go back down to the Tube. We should have known. Sarabeth's house parents warned us of going to the West stations for safety reasons, due to the protests.
Being on vacation, I haven't kept up on the latest news.
We passed a group of policemen on their way up.
We tried to manuever our way through town, but at one point, we heard sirens and saw 3 helicopters hovering overhead. Three police vans were lined up.
The police had donned their riot gear-shields and batons.
I would have felt a lot safer if the police carried guns.

"Stop!.... or I will shout 'STOP!' again!"
That's what my boy's have always said when pretending to be a Bobby after a bad guy!
GULP.
