I just wanted to thank you once more for an awesome week in Portillo. Thank you Chris for organizing such a cool event- and to all the instructors, for taking so much care in improving our skills and pushing our limits. And to Tom our photographer, I’ve got your photos running as my work screen saver- the only thing keeping me sane.
