Life in New York

Feel the power!!

Dear all,

Another two weeks since my last posting. Time flies, don't you think.

The last 10 days were marked by another visit of my little sister. I took her to Washington DC for my birthday last weekend. It was a nice change from hectic and crowded New York.
The capital has a lot of wide lanes and buildings. There are no skyscrapers at all. It is a very formal city that offers a lot of historic buildings. You can actually feel the power of the most powerful man of world hanging over the area.
We saw all the important buildings as well as the declaration of independence, the magna carta. But thanks to a tip of a really good friend of mine, we visited the sixth biggest cathedral in the world. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is located in D.C. and trust me, it is worth a visit.
On my birthday, we had dinner in a Belgian restaurant where I indulged myself on Kriek and Leffe accompanied by tomat-krevet and stoofvlees. A meal fit for a king. It was on a terrace surrounded by lovely people, beer, dogs and the perfect weather that makes you want to stay right where you are. Unfortunately, the bank account does not allow you to as Belgian beers are 4-5 times more expensive then back at home.

Back in New York, I am still staying at the hotel. My furniture is in America, but still passing through customs. They are certainly taking their time and my patience is being tested to its limit. I will keep you posted of course.

Hope you are all OK and alive.
