The President of Argentina presented the newly elected Pope Francis with a Yerba Mate Gourd and he is shown with her in the one photo - fancy one for sure. Then the next one I saw was when he was caught out and about at night in the streets with the homeless - his yerba mate gourd in hand! Apparently he sneaks out of the Vatican to hand out food to the homeless some nights just dressed as a regular priest - no fancy stuff, no big shot following along etc. This man of God is something else apparently - instead of having a fancy big party with the dignitaries and all the pomp he invited homeless people and their dog in to a party with just them and his staff! He was also photographed in both prisons for men and women. That he is quietly doing good things - and loves his gourds - makes him special in my book!
