Once again, tragedy and senseless violence strikes France. My heart and soul are slowly get battered by the continued violence in our world. Nice holds a very special place in our hearts. The year was 2002 and I was 2nd Vice President of the International Energy Credit Association and I was working for Williams Energy in Tulsa, I had been sent to attend the European Conference and Bob was attending as a spouse and Past President. The Europeans had always been so wonderful to Bob and myself. I was later to go to work for the week in Williams London's office. Bob and I had the best Paella ever in a small little Spanish restaurant of the coast. We walked along the Boardwalk there and had lunch at the Hotel Negresco which you can see in many of the shots of last night's tragedy. Bob and I always thought of returning there as it was such a magical time for us. We will still plan to go. We will continue to travel the world these monsters will not change our" joie de vivre" nor France's. Viva La France!
Hi Yolanda... having been to Nice many times, I too feel as if I have a special relationship with the city. Heartbroken, myself.

Every day seems to be reporting some form of chaos on the globe. I just read that Turkey is apparently experiencing a military uprising!

Just when you think the worst is behind us, something like this happens. It was so disturbing. I can't even fit it in my brain.
