Vienna Brussels Habemus Papam
I saw the pope. I rushed from the ship to the street where he was passing by with his papamobil and took a nice shot of him waving at the people next to me.
I remember times when i thought of throwing stuff at John Paul II, but with this guy i was really into him being in Regensburg. I sort of like Ratzinger. He is German. he looks like the devil, enjoys being so popular and does not really have an opinion. i mean he doesn t express it. he is cool. he is like what a king should be: just someone who represents something but isnt really that important.
the fact that regensburg was totally car free today was excellent. people liked the quietness. most of them were excited too even though not that many are catholic. on the ship of our colleagues some people were angry that the pope was there cos it messed up their program. they had a city tour in the afternoon, we had it in the morning.
we put this super cool picture of benidicto on our flipchart that we cut out of the magazine Stern. it is like he is floating. definitly photoshop. we had all great ideas of putting funny quotes above the picture but arjan had already imitated the pope during his port talk that we did not want to go too much over the edge. we did write a text balloon saying HELLO HARMONY though, being the name of our ship.. .and we put BAVARIAN PRIDE as well to it.
We also challenged the people to take the best picture of the pope. some people came to show the pictures and some of them got really close. however, i am the winner
i have a great picture of the pope. and i am glad to have seen him. it did not do anything spiritual to me. it is more one of those 100 things to see before you die things. and honestly i think he is cooler than jean paul II. he is really like the Emperor of Star Wars ready to kill people with fire, but then in a funny sort of way.
