They'd planned a march down one big street, but the march ended up wall to wall people, 3-4 blocks wide, streets upon streets of people, all marching in one direction. The entire city has been taken over. We walked like 30 blocks from the masses to get food, and there are still protesters walking and smiling everywhere you look. No violence, no riots, crowds of strangers singing and chanting as one voice, every age from practically-newborn to 80-yrs+, every faith, every color. It's quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
It reminds me of an Ani Difranco lyric - "There's a river of people that runs past my eyes, it's beautiful enough just to watch it go by."
