It was still, my birthday.
 
We were let out of school in Brazil, in the city of Araraquara in the state of Sao Paolo.
 
The following week some small kid weaved his way around a whole bunch of soccer players and he scored 3 times. His name was Pele! They were playing a team called Botafogo in Araraquara!
Wow! I spent two weeks in Araraquara earlier this year.
 

Rua de Italia 1437
 
Hahaha ... the Google picture shows it as a Pizzaria now. It was a rather nice and big 2 story house, with all the bedrooms upstairs, and downstairs all the library (40+k books of Portuguese. Brazilian and Spanish Literature) and dad's office and dining room and kitchen. On the gate on the left of the building as you look at it from the south side, is a gate to the backyard, small but went around the whole house, and that where the shower was for all of us. Never had a hot bath that I can remember in Brazil at all!
 
I had fun digging this up, and on the huge book mom put together for dad (well known writer in Portuguese Literature) there are pictures of that house, and the one that we lived in when we were in Assis prior to moving to Araraquara, right after my dad got the PHD that awarded him a lot of literary accolades.
