This was a pretty tragic event, really shocked my familia here in Spain. Being from the states while this is happening has been bizarre, it was very hard last night to get the news in English about the details. I was actually in Paris last year at this time, just before the bombings, (lots of heavily armed militia roaming the streets) very near to one of the tragic attacks that just happened. The borders are not closed, but they are doing customs checks, usually you drive across from Spain to France with no stops at all, no stations set-up. I am headed to Montsegur tomorrow, just across the border of Spain into France, near the Pyrenees, about 8 hours from Paris, we are keeping are fingers crossed that we don't get stuck in big lines of traffic trying to get in to the country.
