I found it in my files and wanted to share it

Hi!

Many of you know that I started being a tourguide as a protocol guide in the Sagrada Familia church. One of the tours I gave there in 2001 (soooooooo long ago, now!), was for the then Japanese first vice-minister of finances and the Barcelona consul. They sent a fax thanking the Administration for how they had been welcomed, and they also mentioned me and the tour I gave them. I was given a copy of the fax, and here it is (sorry if the image is a bit blurry):

"Dear Gentlemen,

I'm glad to contact you to express in behalf of his Excellency Mr. Masatoshi WAKABAYASHI, First Vice-Minister of Finances of Japan, his companions and myself, our most sincere gratitude for how we were received yesterday, when we visited the Church of the Sagrada Familia.

Please extend also our gratitude to the excellent tourguide Marta Laurent for her kindness to us during the visit as well as for the interesting explanations she offered us about the building process of the temple, its historical evolution and the works of the world-wide famous architect Antoni Gaudí.

I sincerely appreciate your consideration towards us and I send you my best regards,

Hiroyuki Hiramatsu
General Consul of Japan
Barcelona, May 29th 2001"
