So, I thought I would try joining in on this silly thing and begin with my new life and some pictures of the start of my journey.


My first stop was with my friend Tina and this is what it looked like from her balcony.

Most lovely farmlands right outside her balcony and way off in the distance is the ocean!















We went the next day to see this really remarkable cemetery (ok, I do admit to this real love of cool old cemeteries) But, just look at these pictures and you will understand why it was so cool!!




They decorate these things with all sorts of ornaments, plant gardens on them, etc. They have literally made these really cool shrine/homes for their departed friends and loved ones.












This was a most unusual one! The Madonna here is on a black crescent moon. So far, I haven't found anyone that can explain what this signifies.

This sculpture called Madonna standing on the crescent moon (Mondsichel-Madonna) where the reference go to the apocalyptic woman.
