Acknowledments:

The "European Unicycle Tour" and the "Unicycling World Tour" were successful events where Puerto Rico had the representation we deserve and I could show the Puerto Rican flag all over the world. It was important for me to show everyone (specially the people from Puerto Rico) how great Puerto Ricans really are. It was also an important part of my development as an individual. I will like to thank all the people and organizations that helped me make this dream come true.

First I will like to thank my sponsors, who were critical in making this a reality. Their economic support is appreciated and, of course, they were indispensable in this venture. I will like to thank the Puerto Rican Sport & Recreation Department (Departamento de Recreación y Deportes), who were willing to help me while most people were rejecting me. They came out of their way in order to help me. I will also like to thank my Senator, Hon. Ortiz Daliot. His interest in promoting sport events has really helped me achieve this goal and promote the name of Puerto Rico. Another big help was Hon. Antonio Fas Alzamora , the president of the Senate of Puerto Rico. Thank you.

I will also like to thank the private institutions and individuals who gave me some kind of donations. They include: Cooperativa de Seguros de Vida de Puerto Rico (COSVI), Puerto Rico Drug, Futura Jewelry, Maria's Mexican Bar & Grill, among others.

The highlight of the preparation of this trip has been the task that my promotions committee has done for me. They gave me 110% percent of their effort in order to let people in Puerto Rico know what I am doing and in order to help me find sponsors & donations for my venture. I am more than pleased to say that I have one of the best working groups that I can have in the promotions area. My friends Yarilda, Rebeca, Brenda & Cesar prepared a media tour for me that exceeded my expectations.

I will also like to thank graphic artist Ariel Miranda (rockseer@hotmail.com), who prepared the logo for my t-shirts & my page. See logo above.

Of course, I will like to thank all the people that were kind enough to host me in every country and unicycle with me on the evenings.

Last, but not least, I have to thank my parents who have always guided me in the right direction and have given me support (me "alcahuetean") in all my ventures.

I love you all. Thank you
