From Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. June 2010.
A Catholic cemetary on the island. Note the elaborate nature of the graves.
We took a 4-hour taxi tour around the island. One of the first interesting sights we saw was this cemetary. All of the markers on the island face east and west.
There were once pine trees framing this entire family plot...all but 2 have been cut down. Dates on the stones run from 1800s to 1920s except one with a date in 1990s. Stones that I can make out generally have the name of Lewis.
