One from the vaults. When Ulala and i were in Argentina back in December '07 we had a nice dinner one night at the restaurant of a boutique hotel near our apartment. In the foyer of the hotel there was this massive portrait of "Evita" that looked to be some sort of mosaic. Now, images of Eva Peron are somewhat commonplace in Argentina, along with Ernesto Guevera and Diego Maradona, so i didn`t give it much thought except to wonder at the strange texture. But just as i was taking a closer look, one of the staff said in English quietly and with what i can only describe as reverence, "It is made of bread. All bread."
