I am impressed and feel me humble and grateful to all the friends joining
me in this discussion.
So much knowledge, so much expertise, so much joy of sharing and exchanging!
I lived for 34 years up in the North, Sweden, I am back in the deep South,
Uruguay, and try to make bridges to connect the voices of my friends and
colleages from the North with my friends and colleages frim the South.

Please bear with us very few of the guests are Native English speakers, we
are going to do a lot of translations.

All the best
Ana
