Yes, another cemetery


Wednesday 12 March 2008
On this trip, it seems that no visit to a city would be complete without seeing its cemetery! The graveyard we saw here in Sucre is green, spacious, and very quiet in an organized, formal kind of way. Almost everyone is buried in these little drawers along the walls, with a frontal section for flowers and glasses of water (in case the person inside wakes up and is thirsty?). A few giant mausoleums also dotted the manicured lawn, and in the very back there was a crowded little section for poorer people, chock full of blue and white crosses.
