Where were you when the US was attacked? What were you doing? what were you thinking/feeling? Do you still think about it all the time?
Oh it was so horrible! we just wanted to come home...all of the Italian people kept coming in to the room all the americans were put in and they kept telling us how sorry they were and so on, but we just wanted to be here and none of us could sleep. INITIALLY WE WERE TOLD AMERICA WAS UNDER ATTACK! so you can just imagine the feeling of helplessness. I was sitting next to some men that called the embassy, said "there are about 30 americans here at the airport and you better figure out how to get us home!!!!" he was screaming into the phone, I'll never forget that. we all took shots of tequila and played cards and prayed. It was a glorious day to get home, the first plane back was filled with only americans and we were shown news footage...the atrocities! great feeling to be home!Originally posted by HisPeculiarTreasure
Oh Amie that almost made me cry. I can't think of how horrible it would have been to not be here.
