Yesterday was All Saints Day or Day of the Dead. It is a national holiday in Croatia so none of us had school. We decided to go to the Mirogoj Cemetary in Zagreb. It was decorated with flowers, elaborate headstones, and candles. Buses were running from the main square (Trg Bana Jelačića) to the cemetary. We were amazed at how efficient and orderly it operated. It spoke to us about how serious this day is for Croatians.

Note: Not all of the pictures displaying in this article are from the cemetary. Some are from our trip to and from the cemetary. I thought people might like to see the fall colors in our area...and that we are still such Americans that we stopped at McDonald's for a late lunch.
