Here in Brazil, the equivalent of Valentine’s day is in June, so it’s strange celebrating Valentine’s day in February, even if today is Saint Valentin’s day. When I think about today, today is the birthday of a good friend (great Brazilian cartoonist who’s also my brother’s neighbor), a guy who used to throw epic parties at his house with live samba music played by his daughter’s musician friends. Depending on the year, Carnaval would happen right around this time, so it felt like the entire city was celebrating his birthday, and the party that started at his house could continue on the streets following the music cars parading and playing music on the streets of the neighborhood.
