Dom 9/11

After all this running around, I had to take it easy on Sunday. I went to Utrecht to meet up with my dear friend Mascha. We saw the Dom, that celebrates it's 750th birthday this year. In 1674 a huge storm blew away the mid-ship, which was never rebuild. Until this summer... That is: they have temporarily connected the famous Dom Tower (the largest church tower of the country) with what is left of the church using scaffold pipes. It gives you some idea of how huge this cathedral once was.


In the evening we went to see Michael Moore's 'Fahrenheit 9/11'. What can I say? Because my very first visit to New York City was in the week of that bizarre and dreadfull day in September 2001 and because this city is in my heart each day ever since, I had to see Moore's pamphlet. But we all know Michael Moore.... I share his points of view most of the time, but the ways he puts them on stage are hilarious at best, but mostly just ridiculous. And to be honest: just as dangerously manipulative as the big US networks he critisizes so much... By the way, I'm going back to NYC this September. I'm very much looking foreward to that.
