These are impressive numbers but there is much more behind them. That ‘much more’ cannot be put in numbers but those of us who were there or have been there on other occasions know what it means. Thank you very much to all those who made it possible.
Cifras impresionantes pero hay mucho mas atras de ellas. Ese ‘mucho mas’ no se puede poner en numeros pero quienes estuvimos ahí o hemos estado en otras ocasiones sabemos lo que significa. Muchas gracias a todos aquellos que hicieron posible esto.
