I would like to thank everyone who organised this very first Chilean meeting, especially Patricio and Antonieta. Without meeting Patricio in Barcelona we did not consider to go, and Antonieta is such a generous and lovely person. But I won't forget all the others, you were the best!
I would like to congratulate the Chileans with one of the best first conventions ever! Did you ever get the opportunity to see the origami convention from the air? In Purranque it happened! And the party on Saturday night, South Americans know how to throw a party!
The teaching sessions were very diverse, from simple to complex, with wetfolding, making paper, modulars, animals, everything was there.
Also the mayor came by to have a talk, the convention was open to the public, and the public came and saw what we did.
It was my first time to visit a South American country, and I think I chose well with going to Chile. The people are very friendly and the countryside is beautiful.
Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to treasure these beautiful memories.
