Hola!

Very special posting to mark the "definitive" return to normal blogging!

I am writing from El Calafate, a very touristy location in the middle of Patagónia, made famous for its proximity to Perito Moreno, one of the most accessible, and I dare say, spectacular glaciars of this world. How did I get here???

The answer is obvious... a Wedding! Ernie, a friend, got married and I was a part of the internationals that travelled from all over the world to be here in this special occasion. Still, and although a great experience, this hasn't been the key fact in my life for the past couple of months.

Finally the moment arrived of taking close contact with a very scary and powerful word affecting a very close family member... the word tumour... During the past 2 months, my family has been living difficult moments, having to deal of the uncertainties of a word that can result in all scenarios, from the best to the worst. During the past week, the final results of the operation that followed the initial diagnosis came out and the outcome was 100% positive :) ... the tumour was benign and has been completely wiped out!

I cannot describe the feeling of relief that I felt when I heard these news... A huge weight, fear. dark cloud, just disappeared from one momento to the other and a new sunrise was born! Dealing with the uncertainty was the worst part, but given the outcome, I guess it was a small price to pay!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! to whoever or whatever is out there making these calls...

The basic implication of this great news is that a previously booked trip to Argentina became possible and realistic again, so within 3 days I was crossing the Atlantic on my way to BA (Buenos Aires).

But this will be a theme for the next postings...

Che! Que lindooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
