Guadalupe Cemetary

After doing a little bit of shopping this afternoon, we decided to go for a walk, settling on Guadalupe Cemetery as our destination. It was either that, or a walk towards Kwantis park, and when push came to shove, I don't think we quite had the energy to do that. So the cemetery really worked out good. Plus, that's what I really wanted to do, especially since we've been here so long and still haven't done that.

It was definitely impressive how close by it is, just a 4 minute walk. Although we've driven by there a few times, walking definitely illustrated how close it was. Definitely a beautiful cemetery. Rather than lush green grass and rows of perfectly aligned plots, it has lots of character. Since the sign said it actually closed at 4:30, we didn't spend a lot of time there, for fear of somehow getting stuck inside, but did have a decent walk around the south east corner of the cemetery. It being a reasonably windy day, and dirt and dust being kicked up added to the mystic and south western feel of the place. The wind also wind chimes decorating certain graves dancing noisily. I've never considered it before, but I like that idea a lot.

Previously, from the outside, I hadn't been able to picture certain people drinking out there, but pretty much immediately on entering, it took no little effort to imagine it.

Really beautiful cemetery, and it was really nice spending some time down there this afternoon.
