Recoleta Cemetery




Today we went to the cemetery there was lots of stained glass and crist on the cross in every tomb. We had a guide, her name was Patricia Salao. The cemetery was very big and was easy to get lost. One women died on her honeymoon, she was going skiing. She was fast asleep and a cliff of snow fell on her house and the glass fell on her and she died, her family built this butiful tomb and buried her in it. Some tombs couldn't pay the govermet any more to get it cleaned so they didn't take care of it and the tomb got dirty and wood fell from the cieling and glass spraled on the floor. the scariast thing was that a young women had a heart attack and she was put in the tomb alive and she died trying to get out and the family saw that the tomb had moved a little. The opened the tomb and her body was scratched and they realized that she was burried alive. Patricia took us out of the cemetary she was saying that the police came and picked up all the stray people.
