War Memorial

At the end of a long walk yesterday, I went to see the national war memorial. It's a pretty impressive building. The orientation of the memorial--set in direct line with the old Parliament and the new Parliament buildings across the lake from the memorial--reminded me of the National Mall in Washington. And like Washington, it's a long, dusty hot walk from one memorial to the next. But instead of pigeons and ducks everywhere as there are in Washington, there were hundreds of white and pink parrots screaming.
