About Ruth Behar

De Ruth Behar recuerdo la generosidad, la sencillez, la sonrisa siempre franca, la calma, la atención. El acento hermoso-melódico-musical.

De Ruth Behar recuerdo su imagen subiendo unas escaleras cuando es medianoche. La palabra Miami. Ruth alejandose de ese Mar( de nuevo ese mar).
