... And While on the Subject of Evita

So Americans have the White House, which is where the president lives. Everybody knows that.
The Argentinian head of state also has a house. Just that it's pink. And I am not talking pinkish hue, or some pastely shade. It is full-on, psychedelic pink. And guess what it's called? Yep. It is called the Pink House. That's the offical name - Casa Rosada.
And don't even try to hint at the fact that pink is, how can I say it, well, not the most macho of colours. They will look at you as if you just landed from Mars and explain that the paint was mixed with the blood of a hundred oxes. Or something along those lines....

I do have to admit that after a while the Pink House sorta grew on me.
