Baja Tombstones
Amazing how some Mexicans can express their true feelings for the dead

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.
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

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

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.
My other 4WD is a Baja Mule!
La Mula Mil Survivor 2013-2014!
1000 miles by mule from the tip to Tecate!

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