When Local News is International

It is surreal when the local news of Minneapolis becomes international. My mothers scooped everyone (as far as informing us) with an email. It turned out it was the lead story on VG- a major Norwegian newspaper. Now that we are settled in our hotel in Denmark, we saw it on Danish news. They probably spent 20 minutes on the story. And again and again and again. We called friends in the Twin Cities, and fortunately everyone we know is OK. What a crazy tragedy.
