More than most other places, to me they really carry the weight of the ages. I was bummed that I didn’t get to Arlington when I was in DC in October.

I previously thought it was a rather macabre idea to visit cemeteries in Europe (not a put down, I did the same thing when I was in Poland. But, I now see it is simply that they do not fear it as much as we do. We think we are above death: immortal. We fear it: cemeteries, dead bodies, zombies, etc. Europeans and South Americans don’t have that fear. They embrace it.
