big william's world

Was the call right after the fire alarm went off in our Hotel Casa Madrona
Bags just packed and about to leave - then the deafening noise and elevators closing off.
We walked downstairs into the street where the fire, fire trucks and police were very real.
It seems the fire began, as many do, in the kitchen exhaust ducts on the ground floor then spread upwards.
We watched the excitement and then followed little william's suggestion of hamburgers.
After all this we were finally allowed back to our smokey room to pick up our bags and leave.
The closest I have ever been to being in a fire and close enough!
