Keeling-Puri Peace Plaza, Rockford

Wow!  Wind.  Flags.  Peace?


This place is called a "peace plaza" and they have flags from all over the world flying here.  It was nice and windy so they were flapping and snapping in the wind fiercely.  The sight of all these flags reinvigorates my desire to travel!  Ahh, well, one day.  For today (Leap Day, as a matter of fact) I'll just look around.

Just on the other side of the parking lot is the "Sister Cities Pavilion" which has even more flags!  Here are the flags of the countries in which all of Rockford's Sister Cities are in.  Rockford's Sister Cities are:


  • Brovary, Ukraine
  • Changzhou, China
  • Borgholm, Sweden 
  • Cluj-Napoca, Romania
  • Tokmok, Kyrgystan
  • Ferentino, Italy 
  • Taszár, Hungary


Also, it was a beautiful day.




I'm a sundial!
