Opis

This book is written in the Greek language. An english translation is also available: The Friend From Mexico. Hello, my name is Apostolos and I was born again on the sixth of February 2009 in a hospital in Mexico. These are the somewhat intense memories from the first one and a half months of my new life. The author had a mid-air collision with a fellow competitor at 10,000 feet while participating in the 2009 World Paragliding Championships in Mexico, as a member of the Greek National Team. Two thirds of The Friend from Mexico describes his struggle while others thought that he was in induced coma, and the rest of the book describes the important events while in an intensive care unit and his repatriation to Greece.
