Santiago Cemetery

2.5 million people were laid to rest in the Santiago Cemetery.

It’s an evocative place.

I was there on an excellent group tour. Our guide made the place come to life.

Catholic families visit their dead relatives often: birthdays, death days, holidays, Christmas. They leave gifts behind.

Rich families, companies and social groups have huge memorials.

Some are tacky.

This is my favourite photo from the visit.

If you get a chance to spend eternity here, ride in style.

Life is short. Enjoy it while you still have it.

For many Americans the Thanksgiving weekend is the most important family holiday of the year. I trust they enjoyed 2017.

Me?

I’ve been very lucky. And I’m most thankful.

Looking forward to the future.

This looks to be a new edit of an old video. It’s worth watching again.

Very inspiring.
