There is limited internet access here in Montpellier, and I am using a French keyboard so the typing is slow and strange (not to mention the spellchecker not understanding any of these words!) but I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the people of Moscow who are dealing with the aftermath of a terrible attack on their Metro during rush hour yesterday morning.
My heart goes out to the families of the people who were killed in the bombing, as well as to all the people who are having to deal with the aftermath of having their city attacked. We travelled by train yesterday from Paris to Montpellier and there was a sense of high alert everywhere, punctuated with the presence of machine gun weilding guards patrolling the station. They looked so young...
I heard on the news this morning that the taxi cabs in Moscow have increased their fares by tenfold. I suppose they figure more people will be afraid to take the Metro and would prefer a cab.
Anyway, I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this tragedy and send out compassion to the people who need it the most.
