Those are some great finds, how hilarious.

There is a very interesting grave yard just North of Ensenada, on a hilltop in Cibola del Mar. There is one husband and wife burried next to each other. On one gravestone is written "See You Later Alligator" and on the other one's gravestone is written "After While Crocodile"

Also, in this same graveyard are all of the people that were slaughtered at that compound a few years ago in El Sauzal, I think 17 people.

Funnny! So truthful for all to see, no. The email I viewed had even more samples and choice Truths re the Departed or family! Thanks. Tio

Little children too. That was just a preview of the atrocities to come.

Those are pretty funny...

How about a thread of just regular tombstones... in here or a new one?

Wherever I ride mules in Baja the vaqueros know I am always looking for cemeteries or just isolated burial sites. They usually know who is buried there if there isn't a readable stone so I take pics and add the info to my Baja genealogy database.

One burial that has fascinated me for many years is one that I think is in Santo Domingo (BCN) for Alejandro Simpson-there is a story there somewheres.

Then, of course, there is a famous one at Dog Island in B Concepcion....someone cared a lot to leave their pet resting in such a scenic spot.

That would be Isla Barga. Last time I was there (1998?) I saw no sign of the dog grave sites.
