This is Cementerio de El Batán in Quito, where Flor's mother is at rest. The forest in the background is one edge of Parque Metropolitano, which I blogged about a few days ago, and which has extensive hiking and biking trails.
I don't know what this building is. I thought the little courtyard inside the gate looked pretty.
There are lots of flower vendors outside the cemetery.
Many Ecuadorians are laid to rest in "nichos", or niches, like this.
Flor has her eyes closed here, but if I limited myself to pictures where she has her eyes open, I wouldn't have anything left to blog with! This is the view west from an undeveloped corner of the cemetery, towards the northern half of Quito lying under Mount Pichincha.
