Wherever I Go, You Know I'm Going to Bring You Pictures of Graves

Anyone in Chicago with a foolish desire to see me?
Because I'm going to be there tomorrow, until Tuesday. ^_^

I have all the intense essential oils in my fingers from giving someone a healing massage. I feel gooood.
But that's not the only reason!
This morning I cruised an Acton bookstore and Trader Joe's with [livejournal.com profile] gjules Oh, and I brought her to the Boxboro Cemetary. Very important stop.
The sorts of things that're loads of fun in the right company. (She is the right company.  She promised me more graveyards!)


Fabulous place to be buried. Though it's been out of fashion some 150 years.



I wanted a good shot of the cracked open tomb-door, and then told Genevieve, "Now I'm going to have to look in there."
But it was stoned off just inside. I got the sense of peril with no terrible revelations...yay!

Cool! I wonder if it was stoned off to keep people out.....or to keep something else in?

Bwa ha ha ha!

I think the real answer is mundane, but when I got up the nerve to look inside I was pretty psyched up...

Totally wicked cool. I laughed out loud at the last line.

It *was* wicked cool.
I have lotsa more pictures (but not too many), so I'll probably be posting links to my Flickr when I get an album together.

I'm going to have to add my Panama and other graveyard pictures there...Facebook thinks it's too good for my photos now. >.

Hi! :-) It was great seeing you yesterday, and I hope your trip back goes well. And definitely let me know the next time you're in town -- we'll have to check out Mount Auburn Cemetery.

Thanks for bringing me out!

I've got that idea stored firmly as something to do next time I'm here. Don't worry! I'm all about the cemetery tourism. I'll remember.

WHY

WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL TODAY

I WAS IN CHICAGO UNTIL LIKE FIVE HOURS AGO

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.

'course I could just skip everything in the world on Monday and take the train in.

...

*feels like her homework might object to this*

I only arrived at 5 tonight and then was on trains and...sorry if I faked you out!

But a near-miss is kinda fun, too. Hi Jade!
