Saturday - Pre-St. Patricks Day.....

So, today, before all the St. Patty's day celebrations, I decided to take a walk down the street to the local park that holds many statues and memorials.  On the way I thought I'd take some pics of things I've mentioned before. 


This is a close up (sort of) of the museum just down from my hotel.  I'm so impressed by the arcitecture here and attention to detail.  It's modern, with a traditional twist.  Obviously, I'm not an architect so I don't know if thats a decent description. 

A nice man took my picture and didn't even want any Sum for me to do it.  Behind me is one of the large memorials.  I couldn't get any closer,  the police had an area cordoned off and when I attempted to get closer I got whistled at.  No problem, I'll turn around. 

Another pic....I always look like a toad. 
Here looks to be a war memorial....lot's of names.  The colum in front was what I really wanted a picture of.  It appears to be hand carved.  There are probably 50 of these columns.  It's very impressive!

A view of the park....it's very, very pretty. 

Here's a pic of the supermarket I always walk to.  It looks much more impressive that your typical Kroger store!


Again, with the ornate details.  These are three huge, carved doors.  I love this  kind of detail.
