These may be a little blurry b/c they were taken from the car on our way up North.
These next 2 pictures are of Japanese Tombs. There is a special name for them, but I can't remember what it is right now. I kind of have a morbid fascination with them too. During certain festivals, ancestors of the deceased will come and worship and celebrate at the tombs--which means there is an area in the front where you can often see remnants of candles, flowers, etc. These line the road at any given time and are really detailed!

These are just a couple of spectacular views... The surf was huge because it was the day after the typhoon hit.
and finally...to show my parents that there is a Marriott over here in case they want to come over on points :)

Other cultures look at death in so many different ways. We had a gorgeous cemetary near our first house in Germany. It was a nice quiet place to take a walk.
And, when I lived in Mexico the cemetaries were elaborate.
Miss youb both and wish we were closer. Love, Mom
