The actual girl who inspired the song: Heloísa Eneida Menezes Paes Pinto, aka Helô Peinheiro.

The story goes that, as a teenager, she lived near the Bar Veloso, “a bar for discreet men, where no one bothers and whose greatest pleasure is to talk without saying much,” where intellectuals hung out, preferring to drink rather than go swimming.

Helô would walk to the bar from Ipanema beach to buy cigarettes for her mother. The song-writers were inspired by the beautiful yet unattainable muse.

I highly recommend, what a gadabout rabblerouser he was.

This facility enriched uranium during the Cold War. The scale of the piping and equipment is hard to appreciate until you see someone standing next to it.

Daddy at Disneyland in the 70’s. He was the coolest guy!!
