My Dear Jan, 

Don’t you think it’s time to take a break? 

No castles today. No climbing.  No photography.  And no Internet! 

Find a remote town in the countryside.  Rent a room in a private home.  Enjoy home cooked meals.   Take a walk down a country road. 

Sounds good, yes? 

OK.  OK.  Take a few photos of the farmland. 

Check the mail?  But just for a minute. 

Jan, you are incorrigible. 

Can’t you please relax for a day?  

Try your best. 

Your traveling companion and loyal friend, 

Uncle Jan
