Really lousy news from London today.
Our cousins don't need this kind of grief in that handsome city.
This hits a bit close to home for our family:
Our youngest daughter opted out of a class trip which left for the U.K. 3 days ago, passing through London airport after the recent shooting there - and before this latest attack in the city. (My U.K. buddy calls London, "Big Smoke")
The kids are safe, having flown on to Ireland from London.
But soon they will be back in London - likely walking across that bridge as teen-aged tourists on a school trip.
She opted out of the trip partly because of the expense - but mainly because they were spending only 1.5 of the 10 days in Paris.
She said she could not imagine going that far, spending that much.... and only having one morning to wake up in Paris before flying home.
