We are still in the 50's, my grandmother tells me: "This is the era of the rock'n'roll, the autocinema, fast food and highways. One of the most popular cars at this moment is The Cadillac Coupe de Ville. It is 6m long". This is Buenos Aires, a big and beautiful city. It's 8 p.m. and we are going to the disco, to dance rock'n'roll: "At this disco I dance with your Grandfather. Look! There he comes. He is good-looking, isn't he?" -says grandma--. We dance all night long. The next day ...."Can we go to the autocinema?" I ask, so, my grandma answers: " Yes but before we have to go to the fast food restaurant to eat something and to buy popcorn". We see a film called Revel with a cause. It is really good. I buy some discs by Bill Halley and the Comets, they have made a lot of hits such as: Crazy Man Crazy, Shake Rattle and Roll, See You Later Alligator and Rock Around the Clock. And I take these photos (one of the dancing and one of the car).
It's 5 am time to wake up... the school...! Tomorrow I have classes, well... today well.. in the 2000 we need to go back. The discs and the photos. Now? the keys. The time machine was like the one of the "Back to the future" It started to move side to side backwards and forward and in a few seconds we are at home. Year 2000 and time to go to school....
