    Tania, thank you so much, it is a pleasure that you have read my
    gatufo´s blog, for me it is like a dream to be something similar to a
    writer, so I said I am a frustated writer, but now I am doing something
    I ever wanted to do, for good or not, yes I did it. Now I have nearly one
    hundred notes in the blog and what is better for me,it´s that in more
    of seventy countries I had have a reader, from Asia to America, people
    that speaks different languages but could understand English or
    Spanish.

    Thanks again dear Tania.
