After arriving in the Azores, settling into the hotel, and meeting all our companions, that very first night we had a welcome cocktail. We opened two wines that we had brought with us: one from the Huentala group and another from San Juan, the Malbec Sin Límites. The wines circulated, were shared, and generated something immediate. People were fascinated by them, a lovely conversation started around it, and it was, without a doubt, a very good way to break the ice and start bonding with the group.

Yesterday was a fairly intense day. The day before yesterday, Juan left San Juan for Mendoza by bus and, when he arrived, Nicolás was waiting for him. Between the two of us, we reorganized the luggage, said goodbye to Nicolás's family, and from the terminal, we set off by bus toward Chile.

Before arriving in the Azores, the movie had already begun: the waiting list, uncertainty, the big news, the joy… and then the fear. Then self-sabotage, frustration, despair and, out of necessity, the calm to be able to start making quick and efficient decisions. All the time, that strange mix of excitement and vertigo.
