Every December in La Plata, the city which has adopted me since my College years, there’s a moving and noisy ritual: Newly graduates are driven in the open trunks of cars or vans, followed by dozens of vehicles with friends, relatives, classmates, honking and cheering loudly behind.

En esta época todos los años se repite un ritual en La Plata, ciudad que me adoptó desde mis días de estudiante universitaria, la ciudad de las diagonales hoy pintadas de violeta por los jacarandás, tan bien homenajeados por María Elena Walsh. ¿Cuál es ese ritual?
