Por eso yo no creo en extraterrestres. el q va allá a santo domingo y se conecta con lo q paso allí, nota algo muy interesante, esas mujeres nacieron fuera de tiempo.

Solo 3 mujeres hicieron la diferencia entre millones.

Eso es lo q necesitamos hoy en día ser la diferencia y aplastar los gobiernos q nos llenan de pura ignorancia

That is very interesting. I would love to go to that museum. I read Julia Alvarez' book and I loved it.
