I was in Mexico when the attack happened and I had just checked into into a nice hotel we do business with.
At every stop I had put down my bag and hunted for English speaking news and had just done that at this place, when knock, knock at the door.
It was the bellboy, offering me condolences and a welcome cocktail. I looked at CNN, the cocktail, heard some part of myself say...but I, I, I, don't drink. With that the sweetheart of a guy presents me with a ROSE. Wow.
I had an escort/guard to the airport for the flight back. Got on standby, my flight had been cancelled. It was the only other one, suspects were headed for Mexico???, rumor stuff, anyway only other flight out that day at least and thank God I got on it. Couldn't smoke on the flight though.
