War History
This has been the theme of the past few days... with a trip to Vimy ridge on the weekend and a trip to Juno beach today. They are very different sites but each with lots of valuable stuff to learn & experience.
Vimy has preserved some landscape as much as possible to the WWI conditions (trenches, tunnels, craters from mines); is supported by the gov't; maintains a beautiful monument celebrating Canada's contribution & sacrifice.
Juno has a museum that is only 4 years old; has a couple run-down German bunkers from WWII; and is LOADED with info about Canada's cultural climate in the 30's & 40's. Definitely recommend either site to any Canadian travelling around in France.
Hope everyone's doing well!!
