After the march with Jaume's family

Today is Independence Day. It's where all the people of Barcelona march around the streets chanting and there's speeches because many people want Catalunya to be it's own country but the government won't let them! Before we went out all of us made our own home made flags with paper and a straw! We went to the independence rally with my friend Jaume from the camp and the rest of his family. He had brought a giant Catalunya flag that was the size of a large window so we swung that around and chanted for independence! It was soooooo busy. We were out walking around for two hours and we only moved 2 blocks! You couldn't basically move except every once in a while and only a few steps at a time!!! The news said there was almost 2 million people taking part in the demonstration! The Independence Day march lasted for a while so when we got home we went to bed.
