Ooo, Carla, I love visiting the Catholic Cemetery and also Mountain View Cemetery on Piedmont Avenue! Indeed, we ought to make plans for a photo trip, especially since the tulips will be out soon.

 

I'm sorry that you've been unwell lately. Take care!

Oh, and thanks for the tip, Prosthet! Why didn't I think of using Google Earth to check out cemeteries!? Sheesh! Sometimes I just don't make certain connections. I use it for all kinds of other adventures. ;)

BTW, Fleur, I have spent many a happy hour taking photos at the Catholic cemetery just up the street from you!  If I am ever well again (have had some awful bug for weeks), we ought to hook up and take photos there together. ;)

I used to live just outside of Maastricht, in the Deep South of the Netherlands. Between Maastricht and Vaals (where the Dutch German border is) is a village called margraten. In Margraten there is an American Military Cemetery (AMC) -- one of many in the Ardennes area, all of which look exactly like Arlington.

We used to have a very part-time and not usually-very sober gardener. His father was one of the locals who were employed in the AMC graveyard when it was established immediately after WW2. Over a glass of Dutch gin one evening, he told us that there were X American troops buried in the AMC Margraten, but that the true number of people buried there was actually X+1 because he had illegally buried his father there when he died; Only he knew the exact location of his father's grave (which was not marked in any official way).

Regards, Val
