Hola Javi,
Buenísima toma de acción. Espero que la festividad de San Juan no acabara mal para este proyecto de antorcha humana...LOL
Leí tu último comentario, pero he estado viajando y no siempre tuve oportunidad de conectarme a la red (sólo pude hacerlo en tres ocasiones en un mes), por eso no respondí.
espero ir subiendo algunas fotillas de mi periplo austral.
Te mando un abrazote enorme
