Another cemetery buff!
I love cemeteries and always always visit them, too! Great that you dedicated a blog to three very contrasting ones! I adore the one in this photo with its virgin and holy ghost, clearly painted with love by a local.

The monumental ones of Quetzaltenango remind me of monumental Arequipa, Peru, and of the wonderful ones in Punta Arenas, Chile. So many cemeteries, so little time (hehe).
