The first church we visited was the The Cathedral Church of St.Luke and St. Paul. This is where most of my photos were taken due to the threatening weather. My first impression of the trip was how disrespectful I felt walking through the sleeping bodies. After about 10 minutes, I was very fascinated by the cemetery that all of my worries were forgotten.
The second church we visited was the St. Patrick Catholic Church. This was a cemetery that made me happy, well at least the OCD side of me. Like stated before, the threatening storm cause me to not take as many pictures. I will say that the design of the cemetery was simple, yet beautiful. I love how the grave markers were mainly all the common headstones, but they were all very very unique and gorgeous. I was very intrigued, which is another reason I forgot to take photos.
Here are the photos from that night. Captions explain the grave marker.
