During the summer of 2005, my family and I were on sabbatical in Europe. We arrived in London at the first of July--in time to walk through Hyde Park during the Live 8 Concert.
We then flew to Paris for a few days, meeting up with a friend who is a Green Party politician from Germany. Since we were only in Paris a few days, we left the majority of our luggage in storage at our London hotel.
We were scheduled to fly back to London on July 7. As we took the train to the airport in Paris, our friend text messaged us, telling us that London had been bombed.
