A rubenesque statue |
|
This statue, outside the old church, was where Bill Clinton's motorcade pulled up and stopped. This was the first thing he got out and saw - could it have reminded him of Monica?

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Clinton himself |
|
Pretty close, huh? |

Part of the old city - |

And possibly the best part - the large pinkish/orange building is filled with many different confectioners' shops. Yum. |
