Children of Ours
My son is a junior in college. He's studying abroad this semester in Barcelona, Spain. His itinerary this semester includes a couple of once-in-a-life-time trips to other countries in Europe including France, Germany, and maybe England. How fabulous! His study trip to France, two weeks ago, included a tour of Salvador Dahli's residence and the musuem that houses his - it's-never-going-to-look-like-this-anywhere-else artwork. Boy, was my son impressed and I pleased with his immersion in culture and history abroad. Our communication thread through the internet has a live pulse. We communicate electronically almost daily. Then the email from the "abroad office". A terrorist alert is posted for Americans, and natives, in Europe. Terrorist activity is confirmed in areas that include major transporation and tourist destinations. My son is there.

I have been thinking of the students abroad lately because of the terrorist alerts. I will be thinking of you and your son too.
