Cemetery
I took a nice walk today around town. There were people out celebrating Children's Day in the town square, bashing piñatas and singing music. Men were working spreading coffee beans on the basketball courts. There are at least three courts in this small town, all were probably donated by some international green space organizations. Though nobody plays basketball, they sure help when it is time to harvest coffee. I finally ended up at the town cemetery. These grave sites are remarkably similar to those that I saw in Croatia. I am not sure if they are elevated due to hurricanes or if it is just this cultures normal practice.

i love walking through cemetaries...i know that sounds morbid, but i do. it's always so peaceful and still...there's no other place you can appreciate being alive :)
hey thom!...i was wondering what you were up to! what a great experience! i like your blog.
...cemetaries are fascinating, aren't they? i actually grew up right next to a cemetary. it was all i could see from my bedroom window. i walked through it every day to get back and forth from the catholic grade school i attended on the other side. but for some reason i didn't mind. i second jill in saying "there's no other place you can appreciate being alive."
Hey Thom, you're truly amazing for doing what you are doing. I went on a Mission Trip to Mexicox this summer it was truly a remarkable experiance and some day I hope to take a year off and do what your doing.... hmmm maybe 6 months. Hope everything is great love you
