Cold War Relics

Le Memorial has a large Cold War collection, with even some old launch room stuff on display.

Brought Back Liquor

We bought a little bit of liquor to bring back from Poland.  Most of them are not available at all outside Poland.  I also rediscovered mead while we were there.  By the way, Carrefour was having a sale on the Zubrovka.

Filling In The Corners

The corners of the border are about done.  I've got more of the top border done, too, and I will hopefully have it all done next time I work on it.

Cold War Map

 Not only does Le Memorial document the Second World War, it covers the cold war from France's point of view.  This set of photos is a map of cold war military installations.

Added Amber

 When we went to Poland this time, we decided to get some amber.  It's relatively inexpensive there and beautiful.  We found these sets in the Cloth Market.  The top set is green amber, and the necklace below is an unusual design with three colors of amber.

Going Orange

The butterflies got some orange this time.

Normandy Peace Museum

If you want a comprehensive view of the second world war, Le Memorial in Caen is the place to go.  It even includes parts the west forgets about, like Nanking.  The first hall is all about the build up to World  War II.
