ReplyDeleteEs ok mezclar espanol y ingles, no? :)
Hahaha ;) Yeah, Susan, no problem. You can mix español and english. I think that this picture is less known than others and it is really good.
ReplyDeleteOtra cosa mas... Aqui en New Jersey y NY the TV listings say that it's on Thursday, April 3 on WNET. They're showing it the 6th also.
