La via catalana

September 11 is an important date in the US, for reasons we all know. But it is also a very important day in Catalunya (Catalonia). It is The National Day of Catalonia.
A majority of catalans want to be independent of  Spain and have their own nation. On Wednesday they will form a human chain 250 miles long in support of Catalan Independence. My father would have been part of the chain.
They have had smaller chains all over the world all this month, the one in Los Angeles had about 450 people, and it took place at Griffith Park Observatory.
