Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Greetings — we’ve added more interesting people to Houston’s Memorial Oaks Cemetery. Be sure & check out Clyde Wilson, Jr. He had a relationship with one of the presidential nominees! Look for the NEW.

Then, read a quick Sidebar about Dead Dictators that we’ve visited on our travels around the world.

Lastly, if you’re in the Houston vicinity, the Museum of Natural Science has a new exhibit on Mummies of the World. It’s a fascinating interactive look at mummies, the process, the tools, etc.

Enjoy.

Greetings — we’ve added more listings to the gorgeous Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin, Ireland. Look for the NEW. A quick story: on our guided tour, at the grave of Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa, the guide said we were in for a special presentation. As you’ll read in the post, the eulogy for O’Donovan Rossa is a powerful part of Irish history. As we watched, a young man dressed in full Irish Volunteer uniform, marched to the grave and recited the entire eulogy. It was a very moving moment.

On our Mississippi River cruise recently, we visited New Madred, Missouri. There’s a quick sidebar about an interesting burial there.

Enjoy.
