What fun - I've always loved cemeteries, and I agree - they are very relaxing places. Thanks for another great history lesson. I'm going to enjoy reading Ms Maca's book.

Haha I agree that cemeteries are relaxing, in fact i'll bet they can be very relaxing...for a long time for those who have to stay there! I like to visit the old centeries in East Texas where family members I never knew are resting. I always wonder about the quality of life they lived, and decisions they made, their successes & failures they dealth with, and what they really thought about the times they lived in.
