by far, my favorite morning.

doublecem3 doublecem1 doublecem2The location of Santa Maria de Pazzis Cemetery  is central to the Puerto Rican belief in the separation of death and life. According to Rafael Rodríguez, Chaplain and director of pastoral services at the Universidad del Sagrado Corazon, the Spanish colonial government  viewed death with fear because it was a mystery. Therefore, they decided to build the cemetery to overlook the Atlantic Ocean to symbolize the spirit’s journey to cross over to the afterlife (Thanks Wikipedia).

This colonial era cemetery, named for Mary Magdalene sits by the Atlantic Ocean and the 16th century citadel, Morro Castle.

Without sleeping the night before, we climbed the cemetery gates, at sunrise.

I cannot imagine a more peaceful resting place.
