Our first full day on San Juan we went exploring. I had in advanced picked out two sites that I wanted to investigate. First was the English Camp.
I've always wanted a garden in this style and hope to have one some day. Again at the English Camp on the island.
J and I had a lot of walking to do to get to the English Camp's cemetery. We had to cross a highway and walk uphill for half a mile. No wonder my left ankle was aching bad. More on that for another day. When we got to the cemetery I saw that all the Canadian flags had been knocked clean out of their holes. So being a nice person that I am I up-righted three of them and had J fix the fourth. They may not be my nation's flag but I still respect what the represent.
English Camp cemetery
Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the American Camp and maybe a light house or two soon there after.
Nice pics. It was very nice of you to fix the flags :-)
ReplyDeleteMore pictures to follow soon but today is the ICLW post.
DeleteIs it weird that I loooooove old cemeteries?
ReplyDeleteNot at all. I love old cemeteries too and often it is quite a peaceful walk with very few disturbances. Oh, and I have a great excuse to walk in them with my genealogy research.
DeleteI LOVE old cemeteries too! I use to stretch after every mid-night run at the cemetary we have close to the B's. I went there the first time to feel closer to soldiers long past and was surprized that most all of the cemeteries are for infants. Most of them un-named. I would stretch and send out prayers. Have you ever been there?
DeleteThese pics and the ones you posted earlier of the harbor are beautiful. I'm sorry about the traffic getting home--sounds like a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteTwo hours sitting in traffic to go 11 miles, all we had left to get home, with my period. I detest endometriosis.
DeleteI like English camp better than American camp. That garden ROCKS! What you did for the flags was very sweet.
