Rome, Italy. Just got back from a tour of the vatican, turned on the tube, only English station was CNN, this was just after the first plane hit. We have friends who worked in the WTC and that was my first thought, were they ok? I said to my wife, we're at war and stuck in another country. We were scheduled to fly 9/12 home and it took a close to another week to finally get back. It really hit us when we were back in the states, suddenly there were American flags everywhere, suddenly it all became real.
