"She loathed cemeteries. They broke her heart like posters for missing dogs and ice cream cones dropped by little kids. But it wasn’t the yellow Labrador puppies, vanilla melting on the pavement, or the dead beneath the gravestones that made her sad. What tore her up was the thought of the people who lost them. That, and soggy grass—the kind your heels sank into after an hour of steady rain."*This quote is from a scene in Before Ever After that takes place in the Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise in Paris. I thought that the cemetery would be a nice place to get lost in on our Friday Field Trip. Shall we go? Don't forget to follow the red umbrella!
Are there any places that continue to haunt you?
