Street violence by self-proclaimed anarchists was big news for a day or so, but locals have turned against these demonstrations. The feeling is that the real damage has been done to any support the demonstrators may have had.
Instead, visitors are thronging the attractions and party spots in huge numbers. "Lining Up To Get Into Something" is a universal sport. The wait times are about 5 hours to get on the urban zip line, 3 hours for the DaVinci exhibit at the Art Gallery, 2 hours for a chance to win tickets to the Men's Final Hockey Game, and even an hour to get into the Official Olympic Store to buy --- what else --- the red mittens. They had hoped to sell a million pairs, but the number now looks like THREE million!
