  17. Karina - Estas fotos son maravillosas, al verlas me transporte a mi ninnez, al pueblo de mis abuelos donde solia pasar todos mis veranos. Mi abuelito era asi como el tuyo, con las manos cansadas por el trabajo y con la dulzura en la mirada Que solo da la experiencia. Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros. De que parte de Mexico es tu familia?
