I love going to visit old cemeteries; it’s so peaceful. There are some really stunning stones and sculptures.  I’m lucky enough to live in an old city that has a few old graveyards. Bonaventure Cemetery was designed to be enjoyed like a park, which wandering paths and point of artistic interest. Colonial Park Cemetery features the graves of the founders of the colony and Laurel Grove North has the largest Confederate graveyard in the south.

I’m also lucky enough to have visited cemeteries in Edinburgh, London and Paris.
