Sculptures, Alcohol, and War Memorials

I know I already put a picture of the Thinker on the blog, but this is the real one outside, well there are really 9 real ones around the world, but this is the real Parisian one!
Another of the statues from the Rodin Museum. So beautiful I just had to share.
Bottles of Mumm champagne. Clearly the one I tried to purchase is the 9 littres on the left. But then I realized I would have to carry it around. Luckily they deliver!
Shopping in a grocery store in Angers we came across these Mickies of rum in plastic packagine. Any guesses on what the heck????


Statue standing outside the Juno Beach Centre, called 'Rememberance and Renewal'
Juno Beach. When they were building the Centre, they actually found equipement that had been lost on D-Day in the sand.
Juno Beach where the soldiers actually came to shore.
This is the Juno Beach Centre. Its a really cool design and sits just back from the beach. Not only does it talk about Canadians' role in WWII, but also about the economic and social climate before and after the war. There is a whole room dedicated to just informing others about Canada today. Very cool.
