De traje y afeitado al ras... UNBELIEVABLE!
Well, you better begin to believe it, pal. This is my way.
Mariano, cuando te veo dando tus conferencias magistrales y al público escuchándote... me vienen unas nostalgias bárbaras. Qué lejos estamos... Y de traje y corbata te ves estupendo. Todo un Herr Kunstmeister.
En una de las fotos estás con el carrete de diapositivas. Me acordé de aquellas que te dí. Eran parte de mi vida y creo que en tus manos están bien depositadas. Un beso muy grande.
Hello Mariano,
My friend Nancy Eslick, and myself, Leslie Gonzales very much enjoyed last Wednesday's event.
Many thanks,
Leslie
Mariano te felicito!
Dear Mariano,
I am still mesmerized how quick and crisp was your overview of German Art was.

Impresionante.
Deeply impressive.
De corazón te felicito y que sea tu labor siempre un motivo de placeres y alegrías.
You are amazing in a number of languages.
¿Un argentino disertando en inglés acerca de la historia y el arte alemán, con los auspicios de la embajada teutona en Islamabad y en cinco universidades pakistaníes? ¡Maravilloso!
Bonjour Mariano,
J’ai lu l’article élogieux qui a été consacré à votre conférence sur la peinture allemande. Ca a l’air d’avoir été un vrai succès !
Bien à vous
Matthieu
