Esta casa me causó la rara sensación de pensar que por alguna puerta iba a pasar Paula Albarracín, algo que nunca me pasó en un museo. Me gustó. more »

This House caused me the rare sensation of thought through any door to Paula Albarracín, something that never happened to me in a museum. I liked.
