For me they are so intriguing . I try to check out all the cemeteries wherever I travel, even if it is only a town in the USA. I will give you my opinion after I spend my day there.

On the road for six years? That sounds so interesting. And you've chosen to settle in Chuburna. Do you have a blog, or sould you be willing to share info about your travels, and what led you to choose Chuburna? We considered settling in the area 4 yrs ago, and were unable to do so. I haven't given up yet tho'! Best wishes in your new home. Hola! On the road for six years? That sounds so interesting. And you’ve chosen to settle in Chuburna.

We are so excited about our home in Chuburna, and our move in September. We have been on the road now for over six years, and it will be wonderful to have a home that doesn't move. That sounds as if I am tired of our wonderful life, I am not. I believe the Father has other plans for us. We will need all the help we can get.

I see that you went to visit Alma Reed's tomb, next to her life-long lover Felipe Carrillo... it is very interesting. There is a movie with Antonio Aguilar (portraiting Felipe) about his life and encounter with Alma and the song Peregrina by Guty Cardenas and Ricardo Palmerin came along. Maybe you can rent the movie at a local Video-store. It takes you back in time. Regarding the cemeteries, most of them are alike. If you ever visit Hoctun, my parents hometown, you'll see a mansoleum for the Moguel Family. It goes back a century. My greatparents and grandparents, uncles, rest there. We go visit them every time we go to Hoctun. Thanks again for the memories. Hi WGs.

From my upstairs window, I could see over its wall. The women do come to clean and keep things in order... but - very early on weekday mornings, it is the men who come, hat in hand - before work - to speak to a parent, or a wife, or a child... just for a few minutes - to say a prayer - and then go silently on about their business. This is a part of Yucatecan culture most people never see. I once lived across the street from a cemetery in another town in Yucatan. From my upstairs window, I could see over its wall.
