The Other White House

A couple of notes on the Paraguayan White House: Based on no other information other than personal observation, it has to be said that the Paraguayan White House is at least 10 times bigger than its counterpart in Washington D.C. How else do you explain the difference in the two pictures I have taken?

Then there is the matter of security. You are able to get much closer to the Paraguayan White House. There is no huge, black fence surrounding the compound. There are no snipers on the roof.  There are no stewards shooing you away from the fence if you stand/sit/look/breathe there too long. In fact, there are only a few guards with automatic weapons, but even they mostly sit around drinking a local herbal concoction while reading the newspaper.
