    Kevin: Lo leeré de nuevo por el disfrute que me da leer algo que es tan nuestro tan familiar .
    Describís la pasión , la visita de los extranjeros a ese lugar. A veces con tanta incomodidad que nos resulta inexplicable aún cuando te explican que aman a Marcela, Dani y tienen mucho lugar para bailar.
