Madrid Madness

This morning as I turned on the TV I caught the moment of silence for the dead because of the train bombings in Madrid. It was a year ago today that the mad bombs killed hundreds of Madrid citizens. Their Sept. 11th. It brought back memories of an assignment I was working on for Transitions Abroad, language study in Madrid. A piece also is on GoNOMAD archives. I was staying with an elderly couple in an elegent apartment in the Salamanca area. There was another American student staying also. This was during the Bush and Gore recount. Daily we suffered through questions and comments from the other students from around Europe. We both had finally had enough and said so. It was the last time the blue and red states united totally. Except of course after the days of Sept.11th. Tolerance is best learned at home.
