Hello, bloggerites! I’ve missed you. It was a long ten or so days in Europe, packed with sightseeing and concerts and a few too many instances of feeling like a complete tourist. Greece and Italy are not only gorgeous countries, but they’re jam-packed with crumbling ruins of ancient civilization, tombs, and the sort of ghostly echoes of the unfathomably long dead that only places with such long histories can boast. Here’s some pictures of ancient tombs in Greece:
Last time I was in Athens, on a weekend trip when I was studying abroad in Spain in the fall of 2009, I visited Kerameikos, an ancient cemetery from around 1200 BC. Here’s a picture:
I’ve already shared the awesomely creepy pictures I took last time I was in Rome, when I went to the Cappuccini Crypt, in this post, so I guess I’ll leave it here. If you want to know more about my exciting travels around Europe from that semester I spent in Spain, I kept another blog then called Spain Adventures that always makes me horribly nostalgic for Europe.
Slightly more substantial and coherent posting shall resume later in the week, once I’ve sorted out my post-spring-break life.



Really cool, thanks for sharing
It’s always so astonishing how the skeleton of the old world remains alongside the present in Europe. It’s hauntingly beautiful. We just don’t see that in North America. There’s not a single building where I live that is over a hundred and thirty.
