    I've stopped watching the news.

    Has anyone heard from Rebecca? She was in France for the TdF, also visiting family I think.

    Hope she checks in soon. My partner's son and wife were at Paris airport 2 months ago.....it took them awhile to get through airport. Alot of checks. The army /police presence were quite noticeable and they were armed.

    I simply stick to major mainstream news outlets with bits of alternative press. I do read some news but probably not as deep as I should.

    I haven't heard from Rebecca lately, but I believe and hope that they would have been at her family home in Gordes. That's in southeastern Provence.

    I awoke to a text from one of my clients on the 15th. She is a French teacher, studying and visiting in France for 2 weeks, in Nice.
    She said she was not at the scene, but was eating on the balcony of a friend's home watching the fireworks from a distance. I felt relieved for her, but upset. Haven't heard from her since, and I hope being at the scene of a terrible thing isn't overly triggering for someone, who has already had enough trauma this year. Not sure how I can even process this with her, next week.
