people are maaaaad.....

There were cacerolazos all over Argentina on Monday. Cacerolazos are when people pour out into the streets banging pots and pans. They've become THE national sign of extreme discontent. Here are some pictures Caleb took from his apartment. It was massive.
The cool thing about cacerolazos is that they're completely peaceful, just very very angry and noisy as hell. People yell and chant, and block of the streets for hours. Every city in Argentine--Mendoza, Tucuman, Rosario, Buenos Aires, etc--had its own cacerolazo too. People are ready for the government to step up.
