Will do, Monster, and wont do the other
This forum is more interesting and way more active than the ones I frequent anyway, tho I'm more known for lurking than posting.
Today we visited SF's 'City of the Dead', Colma.Wikipedia lists Colma's official living population as 1191, but if you count the residents in Eternal Repose, the number rises dramatically.
We hit 2 of the 4 targets we went for, and considering the size of the cemeteries within the place, I think we did pretty well.
We located the Monument to the Showfolk of America with quite a bit of ease.The giveaway being the clown-face on the front, as you dont tend to find many monuments sporting such adornments.
Next up, we paid homage at the grave of the Emperor of the United States (and Protector of Mexico), Norton I.An unusual fellow, in as much as that he spent his reign in abject poverty, yet was still referred to as 'eccentric' rather than just 'plain old mad', (if often find that a plentitude of money gets you the former title, whilst an acute shortage usually merits the latter.).
We did, however fail to come across Wyatt Earp and Levi Strauss's graves, spending a good hour in the wrong section (as it turned out) of a massive cemetery.
From there we've headed back south, to Palo Alto to visit an intriguing statue of a car with legs.Which turned out a good deal smaller than I'd hoped.
Persistence poses a question, as we're currently talking logistics for the flight home in a couple of days now.
Can a cooler be checked-in as hold luggage?And if so, what is the best way to secure it?
We were thinking of packing the cooler with clothes, the accumulated souvenirs/gifts being packed into our suitcases instead.Oh yeah, we've had to make an assumption that since we're allowed 2 pieces of hold luggage each, that we'll be allowed 23kg on each piece, rather than split between them.Any transatlantic travelling experts out there?
