When I've opened today my mail and learned about your trip to Barcelona I had a great surprise and a great joy, now I've read your mail to the list and I'm still more excited!. What a nice gift from your children!!!. You can't imagine how happy I'm to meet you in Barcelona just 20 years later than the Olympics in Barcelona, as in the novel of the Musketeers...! For the moment Geoff, and Nathan has confirmed his assistance, and probably Philippe ... and me of course. We will enjoy a great time together! and as in the film "Casablanca" we will always have Barcelona!. Cheers!
