I needed to waste 20 minutes near Post Rd/Calle Betances/2R (it has a lot of names) and I finally walked in the park I’ve been eyeing since we moved here. It was closed for repair, but reopened a few months ago.

It’s a cemetery! I guess I should’ve realized that because it says cemetery near the road but I forgot, and it looks like just a park from the front.
Mayaguez has cool cemeteries. This was is huge – like 4 acres or so.

Cemeteries are not this cool where I come from.
There was an opening in the outer wall, which led to the ‘poor’ peoples area. At least that’s what I assumed. It was wonderfully creepy. Beautifully neglected. And even mother nature was making it haunted with vines hanging down off the trees.

It made me smile so broadly! Oh the photos I could create here! I will be back with my camera! I am literally rubbing my hands together brainstorming all the possibilities!

Palmer is a German name…not Puerto Rican…hmm…
I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes old cemeteries. These are great photos in black and white and I love your so serious expression 🙂
