The blue tiles on the facade matched Nebio's eyes. He was visiting his mother doña Luisa for gnocchi, accompanied by his daughter Soledad.
—Do you still keep this photo, Mother?— asked Nebio, looking at a photograph of himself in a Peñarol jersey from 1956.
—I keep several photos from when you lived here, along with the Dairy Technician diploma you left me as a gift. I'm missing the ones from your wedding… Look, here you are with your cousins at the river, show her.
—That reminds me, I have to teach Soledad how to swim. In summer I hope to bring her to the river and take a photo just like that one.
