Thanks to Andreas for organizing the walk. It was great fun! Here are some pictures:</p> <img src="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20071003_Wank/small/small_dsc_3386.jpeg" border="1" alt="Wank at the top"> <br><br> <img src="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20071003_Wank/small/small_dsc_3385.jpeg" border="1" alt="Wank at the top"> <br><br> <img src="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20071003_Wank/small/small_dsc_3410.jpeg" border="1" alt="Tandem-Paragliding"> <br><br> <img src="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20071003_Wank/small/small_dsc_3374.jpeg" border="1" alt="The base at the top of the mountain"> <br><br> <p>The rest of the pictures are in this <a href="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20071003_Wank/">Gallery</a>. http://amaldo.choriticos.net/blog/2007/09/30/cafta-dr 2007-09-30T23:55:28Z 2007-09-30T23:55:28Z <p>There was a huge demonstration against the "Free Trade Agreement" (TLC or CAFTA-DR) with the US in Costa Rica today, and I would have loved to be there. This was the biggest demonstration in the history of our country, with an estimated 150 000-200 000 people there. </p> <p>This "agreement" if you can call it like that, attacks many of the things that make Costa Rica a nice place to live, and if approved, would limit greatly our chances of economic and social success in the future.</p> <p>Since you can only vote if you are in Costa Rica next Sunday, and that means I can't, I ask everyone in Costa Rica to please inform themselves and try to make a smart decision. Don't let the fear campaign being run by the government affect you.</p <p>This sites contain a lot of information:</p> <a href="http://www.concostarica.com">http://www.concostarica.com</a><br> <a href="http://www.notlc.com">http://www.notlc.com</a><br> <a href="http://www.bilaterals.org/">http://www.bilaterals.org/</a><br> <p>This is a quick overview in english:</p> <a href="http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/910/1/">http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/910/1/</a> <p>I put some of my reasons to say no to the TLC <a href="http://www.concostarica.com/caras/3019">here</a>. <p>And since this is a photoblog, here are some pictures of Rodrigo Mora, Steve Quiros, and me, saying NO to the TLC.

We sat in the Augustiner tent, and this is how it looked like around 11am:</p> <br> <img src="http://www.choriticos.net/~amaldo/alemania/20070930_Rigo_and_Steve_in_Munich/oktoberfest/small_dsc_3171.jpeg" border="0" alt="At the Augustiner Beer Tent"> <br><br> <p>Afterwards, we went to Koenigsplatz and took a walk.
