We want to thank - You - for the loving concern - displayed to us - - this past week.

Belonging to both the United States and Spain - - we have - had - an abrupt pause in our daily lives.

Enough has been written and said - yet we all comment here - - how fortunate that - one train arrived two minutes late - thus avoiding thousands from dying - in this well planned bombing of - Madrid*s Historical Atocha Train Station.

The Madrileños are not going to show defeat ...

... In their manner - the exquisite sense of humor continues - yet behind - are those tragic - facial expressions.

Flowers for Paco

The flowers - notes and candles - grow in the doorway nearby - - a silent tribute to Paco - the concierge - we lost - - on his way to work - that morning.

He was a loved person in Our *Barrio* - and as the word spreads - - the shrine grows - on that very spot - - where he stood - for - so - many - years.

We will all miss - his smiles and those daily - very - witty - chats.

We can only Dream - - that this will be - the last of all injustices - - as our arms - reach out to - every Victim - and - their Families.
