Well I hope none of you think I went over to the dark side, lol!
We (gf and I) went to see a presentation of Handel's Messiah.

btw...i love to travel...and have been to many cathedrals in europe...and would have been an architect if jw parents would have me go to college...but that is another subject. once i in was in a place called heegweigh...prob not spelled right...but a small town in the dominican republic...not far from punta cana...and damm....first i went to the kingdom hall, but my little 10 year old guide took me to the local landmark...and apologized!!!....that it only qualified as a basilica and not a cathedral!...it had military guarding it because of all the gold in it...but the area housing around it was made of cardboard and tin...open fire pits to cook!...outdoor plumbing......just weird.........oompa
btw....they shot Apocalypse Now right near there........
