We have to go but what they offer and the very sad attention.

The nice museum was obviously not available Juanita. We saw a replica. The shameful attention. Sorry I don't know the name of the guide. Even though it is payment from the moment you get the ticket, the subsequent video and the guide; everything was a real embarrassment.
