Heading back from Spain. What a wonderful time. What great people.

Heading back from Spain. What a wonderful time. What great people.

I’m returning from the Domaining.es forum in Valencia, Spain. What a great trip. The people, the country and the city have been fantastic.

I’ve never been invited to stay in someone else’s home so often. This was the most hospitable and welcoming group of individuals I’ve come across in some time.

From the beginning I was welcomed with open arms. Unless something significant comes up, I’ll return next year for sure.

Special thanks to (and in no particular order):

Dietmar J Stefitz (my host with the most)

Daniel Dryzek (and his lovely wife)

Alfredo Torres Ruiz

Felix Mezcua

Jaime Ferrer

Jesus Alonso Gallo

Amaya Eicken

Luis Tolosa

Roberto Beltran

Estrella Moreira

Sonia Llatas Piera

There were 40 more people there but I’m afraid I didn’t get all of their business cards.

The .es extension is going to do very well with this group of people as the early adopters.
