Yes - that's about what we are used to pay in Europe.
Now, this is of secondary importance compared to the new
international situation created by these horrible terrorist attacks
in New York and Washington. I do hope that all governments, of the
US, of European countries and of all countries will unite to bring
back peace in the world.
This would be the best hommage given to the thousands of innocent
people who lost their lives in these attacks.
Incidentally my son-in-law was due to be in South Manhattan
yesterday, but his flight from San Francisco was cancelled. We were
not able to reach them before last night...
