Hey John E, thanks for your kind comments always and Peace.
Praying for Yo, donini, that none of your luggage is lost on your Patagonia Adventure. Your's is Pro way more important than mine. I did have the presence of mind to pack my harness, new boots and chalk bag in my carry on so I am good to go Jingy.
Here's my "Comfort Kit" from Iberia Air. From right to left: One xtra large white t shirt, red lint remover, brush, toothbrush, two female items, blue kemphor mouthwash, sewing kit....uh, no clothes to repair here, a hair net, an all purpose cologne for men or women ?, toothpaste, slippers to go with the tshirt, shoe shine (but no shoes), a huge spray bottle of deoderant.....are they trying to tell me something ?, and a jar of skin lotion. Hmmmmm :DD
So see Jingy, more new jobs in these Comfort kits....say where's the red wine...that would comfort. :D Peace, lynnie

Whoa! Well, one could get hung up in a pot shop and never make it to the crag. Especially if it's cold and wet at the crag and warm and dry in the pot shop, I mean, if one were so inclined.
I LOVED Amsterdam!

I am so excited for you! I can't wait for you to come back so I can sit at your feet and hear all the stories! Yes folks, she always has more to say in person than what is posted on the taco stand. Lynnie is one incredible and adventurous gal.
Hugs,
AFS

Having a little trouble still with my computer. Getting little red X'S that delete pics I post so I'll try and post pics by themselves and see if it helps.
The sign says literally " Little Pot Shop". In Holland it is legal to sell lettuce and smoke it. Yikes ! I'm not holding in the bad I'm carrying. It's a Christmas present. :D

Anastasia, missing you and your great man. Sorry I didn't get with you before I left. We will have fun when I return. Smiles and Peace.
Mark Miller, you obviously know this area. I did think about leaving just after I arrived. Dang, it was cold and spent the whole night freezing with my luggage lost. (One xlarge t shirt in the comfort bag doesn't go far.)
But was out all day in the weather and think I'm climatized and good to go.
Yo, I may die but think I'm really gonna Live LARGE. Smiles, lynne
Joey, you know lynnie.....:D

Can't hear my self for tickertape, clacking typewriters, and Flak, but,
News dispatch form the Front!
"things going well here. They found my luggage :D and I got to climb at this great gym called Klimax near Antwerp with my special son, Seth who is so mellow and fun and an off the 3 year couch and did a 5.10 and 5.11. The climbs are not softly rated per a climber we climbed with that trains here alot. They don't use colored tape on the plastic, the route is colored rock (red, yellow, grey, green etc.) So outrageously fun !!! Joy and Peace, lynnie"
We at the news service hope your own news is equally good!

Further dispatch, it seems she is in child nurturing mode now, but is attending bouldering comp tomorrow (whenever that is, as this world turns) and promises action photos (in general not just the comp) any time now, as the zepplins align.

Jaybro....Clark Kent.....Dude. Thanks for playing cub reporter again. My computer lost the signal here and I just got it back. Mailed you from Seth's computer. It's 12:30 a.m. here now, a nine hour time difference. I'm loading pics of the big Klimax climbing gym where we climbed today and going to bed. Will post tomorrow. It was a blast and Seth and I fired....for who and what we are.
Jazzed to be going to an international bouldering contest tomorrow courtesy of one of the judges here in Belgium...indoor contest.
Double D. Howdy, Blessing to you and your family. There is climbing here in the winter, you just have to travel to find it or use the indoor gyms. The one near us is awesome.
I hope to meet up with some other climbers in different countries. I didn't plan this trip. It was created by my best friend, jesus. Met and climbed today with 4 other jesus followers. One is age 13, a fantastic climber and has the desire and will to be the best in the world. I will be posting pics of her and family tomorrow. More wonderful, gracious, kind people you will ever want to meet. Peace and Joy, lynnie
PS, Captain Chaos has some pretty great, heavy duty work going down which is good. May go see him and his family in the spring. :D
EDIT: Gracias Amigo Dave Diegelman for the beautiful Picture....Light....He is the Light of this World. Yeah ! All the lights of this season remind us. Especially that one candle burning brightly in the dark night.

Hey, Neebee
I'm in my homebase in Belgium in a little village just outside of Brussels. Holland is close by so it's easy to get to. The freeways here are great. People only use the fast lane to pass then move over to the middle lane. The slower cars or those exiting the freeway stay in the far right lane.
They have few police and very subtle cameras for speeders. Freeway lighting is so beautiful it could be artwork. Signage is awesome.
I saw the sun for 5 minutes yesterday. But it has not rained except for a few sprinkles. It's not that bad in the winter. I can find plenty to do, plus there are very few touristas......like me :D Peace and enjoy your holiday season, Gal. lynnie

It was a total honor to spend time climbing with this family. They are all great climbers. Anak is pictured in the poster. She is #1 in Belgium in her age group. Her family workouts are awesome. Mom and Dad emphasize studying the routes thoroughly before attempting the climb.
The family climbs alot in Spain. Thirteen year old Anak (back middle) can onsite 5.12 and over..... When I talked with her she affirmed that her goal is to work hard and become #1 in the world. You Go Lassy !
These are the nicest, most humble people you'd ever want to meet. I mean taking time to climb with Seth who hasn't climbed in 3 years and lynne who is still so neubie.......and having a ton of laughs and great conversation. Teaching us a few tricks as well.
