In the cemetery near La Herradura are buried both of my grandparents from my father's side. There are also other dead relatives. It is a small cemetery that began as a place to bury people that were not catholics. As my grandfather waa German he was buried here. My grandmother was brought to be at his side many years later when she died.
Do you have such a place near where you live?

There are no nearby cementaries where I live but from my office, I could see one of the bigger public cementaries here in Manila.

The closest relatives I have buried are in Alabama, and I haven't been to see the graves in years and years.

I wanted to see this small cemetery. It is secluded and peaceful.

My neighbour is a Chinese cemetery. I live in a subdivision next to a Chinese cemetery and most people go there to jog every morning. The cemetery is very beautiful though. It's like a garden with a great jogging path.

Interesting. I would not think of jogging in a cemetery.
