A seeeeaaaa of time.
That is what we thought too.
But it was gone in no time.
While we blinked.
So many things we did not do.
Many people we did not see.
And many more, we did not see enough of.
To those: I sincerely apologize.
I DO have an excuse.
No, no, no: more than one.
First of all: I blame the internet and the mobile phone companies.
Lots of mails got lost. I heard afterwards: I did not receive some mails or people did not get the answer to it. Which makes me or them think: not interested OR too busy OR something came up. And time goes by. Next thing you know: bang: it is time to leave.
Second excuse: I have been running from one doctor to the next specialist to another test. There was no end. The result is that I know my knee is fine and I still do not know what the problem with my neck is. IF I could do it again: I would see zero doctors, hospitals, scans or specialist. What is the use: I am no further than I was when I arrived in Belgium.
But most of all: it is my own damn fault: I did not try hard enough to contact you, I was too lazy, jumped to conclusions, ... . I got people worried, like my sweet rollerblade teacher and wish I spent more time with people who really matter to me.
I hope you can all forgive me!
It was a wonderful time, though.
Just a little grip of the things we did:
We had lots of fun at home: mojito evenings, BBQ's, card and cards plus some poker, ...

Our camera was in reparation almost our whole stay. From a lot of events, we do not have any pictures. If you happen to have pictures of our time together, please send them. Not only for the web blog: they mean a lot to me.
We can never thank the Girls enough, who make us feel at home and even give us their fancy cars.
Also Michael and SM, for trusting us with their car for weeks.
Thanks to all those people who drove us around and to those who visited us, like Greg from Paris.
I already miss you so much!!!
