Hello!!!! Sorry for the delay and the suspense. I thought it would be better to wait some days to have more solid first impressions. It is amazing how the fear and anxiety that had been accumulating for weeks can disappear in a single moment… this moment ->

Training can only get you so far, friends can only motivate you so much, planning can not account for the unpredictable, risks can be minimized but not eliminated… Tomorrow we’ll find out how far is that far and how much is that much. This may have been a simple vacation trip, but I take it [...]
