Two typical policemen.  I couldn't figure out why all the policemen, and they are everywhere, were so young.  Then a friend explained that all of these fellows are doing their 21-month national service stints.  Some of them hang out in the blazing sun to guard the U.S. counsel and wait in buses everyplace there is a demonstration -- even the demonstrations that consist of people sitting peacefully on the ground with signs.  They also serve as park rangers. 

Very nice fellows when I chatted with them.  One fellow has 9 months left until he returns to his fashion design studies at Parsons in NYC.
