• Arrival
• When we arrived at my aunts apartment, we saw
  something funny that doesnt exist in Peru. It
  was a nursery that went for a walk. The teacher
  and all the children where grabbing a kite. They
  use this material as a safety measure to walk and
  cross streets.

• John Lennon Yoko Ono
  Exhibition
• My aunt works at the Montreal Museum of Fine
  Arts. There was a free exhibition called
  Imagine The Peace Ballad of John and Yoko. It
  was interesting. One had to climb a stair and
  look at a tiny message. Or one could play John
  Lennons piano or lie on his bed. There was also
  a room with lots of trees, where one could hang a
  wish. Another room had white chess boards. Plenty
  of chess games with no opponents.
