Costa Rica is obviously a very Roman Catholic country. Each year as many as one million people make a pilgrimage to the cathedral in Cartago during a holy week in August. That is about one-fourth of the country's population.
This week we are showing photos from our recent trip to the Galapagos Islands on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
I often visit both churches and cemeteries when I visit other parts of our country or other countries because they tell you a great deal about the culture and customs. This looks like a very full cemetery with many visits from family.
