Graves in a Frangipani Grove

We took the free CAT Bus in Penang to the nearest stop to the Old Protestant Cemetery.

The grounds are well-kept, but since the first gate we found was padlocked, we wound up entering through a part of the wall that had caved in.

The burial ground is tucked in a shady grove of frangipani trees. As you can see, I tucked some of the fragrant blossoms into my hat band. (Look closely and you can see that I have sweat right through my hat, as well. It was such a hot and humid day!)

I saw a strange little creature on the corners of a sarcophagus. It reminds me of these little piggy looking creatures that I saw all over town. Once again, something to research later!

I also so many different kinds of butterfly here, as well as a moth that was the size of my hand. Really fascinating place.もっと詳しく
