The statue commemorates the Mackenzie Papineau Battalion of the International Brigades, Spanish Civil War 1936-1939

The plaque tells the story.

We walked past the Parliament building.

Cool totem pole.

In front of Parliament was this giant Sequoia tree.

The plaque says it's over 100 feet tall. It was planted in the late 1800s. Every December it's decorated with thousands of lights.

A statue of Queen Victoria in front of Parliament.

We're headed to the harbor.

For a few minutes we got caught up with a Japanese tour group.

A statue of Captain James Cook in the harbor.

While searching for the Western exit to the Northwest passage they put in to Nootka Sound for repairs and to trade with the native people.
