Voyage Out


Churches and cemeteries are among my favorite places to visit while in a city -everyone has them and one can learn buckets about the history and culture of an area without a tour guide jabbering away or some fellow trying to sell you commemorative spoons. So a few days ago a friend and I made a little excursion down to Johannis Cemetery (http://www.johannisfriedhof-dresden.de/). Many of the graves belong to notable Dresdeners and some also to resistance fighters during the second World War. The pictures can be found here: http://picasaweb.google.com/racheldubya

A very peaceful and lush looking cemetery. Most of the cemeteries in the islands are New Orleans style, above ground crypts and not nearly so lush. It seems to be missing something......perhaps a few frogs?
