Imagen
My girlfriend captured this picture on September 2019 on Lastarria street. In this photo you can see to my friends and classmates of composition. Their names are Sebastian, Felipe and Rodrigo.

I like this picture because is a good memory of my friends. They are good friends and we have a whatsapp group named "Los procastinadores" jajaja Felipe is a good composer and poet, Rodrigo is expert in performance and Sebastian is happy with the band of street musicians.

Really it is a good memory.
