mom i am ok. my phone cut off because cel phone lines are jammed up because so many people are calling. sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. 1 out of 20 times maybe it worked. my home phone is also not working well. same thing - however - i can get calls. i am packing food, water, medical supplies, layered clothing. if one more building is attacked i am walking out of this city - that is the only way to get out right now. mass exodus of people on streets, walking walking walking.

i was there mom, saw the first tower right in front of me on my way out of subway on fire. saw a man falling out of building and that's when i told myself i am getting out of here. as i turned an explosion went off behind me and i started to run. most people were running, scraming. we all ran for a while. i think people who didn't see it first hand didn't realize how bad it was because they were loitering in the streets. it took me a while to find a pay phone - only had 1 quarter to call guillermo. walked up to his office took 25 minutes. got him and we walked all they way up manhattan north to our apartment. everyone was in the streets, and ambulances, fire trucks, police vans and special forces. then we heard and saw a fighter plane in the air. thank god that is here, protecting the air space. now i am just wondering - will they go after another building? i can see the empire state and citicorp from my window, they are about 40 blocks down. if i see them attacked we will leave with our backpacks i think. i refuse to die in this city, and i am definitely moving away soon. enough excitement and action for me, i can't stand this city anymore.

now let's just hope george bush does not start up world war 3. i love you, i am fine, i will try to call soon.

Dearest Audrey I just send an Email to your old address at Chase, sorry

What a terrible disaster my heart aches that you have to witness this and experience brutal attacks on Americas freedom and its innocent citizens.

Thank God Guillermo is with you it was reassuring Dear Guillermo when you said I'm with Audrey,
I just still feel very anxious because when Audrey got on all I could hear her saying was, Mom it as so terrible and then we got cut off. So I was not sure if you were far enough away from the disaster scene.

please write to me or try to call we all love you so much, I wish we still had the olden days were families were close enough that they could get to each other in times of danger.
If I but could I would be on the next plane up, all flights are canceled!!



Take are and all my love Mom
