Watch where you step and what you touch. The cemetery is now considered part of the inner city and people do odd things in cemeteries.<\/em> This from our tour guide. We already know. A month earlier we were looking for John Ware’s grave when we accidentally stumbled upon a group of six vampires<\/em> who were playing<\/em> in the cemetery (in the middle of the day).<\/p>\n

Calgary has done a great job of converting its cemeteries into parks (some have bike paths) and preserving the city’s history through these cemeteries. <\/p>\n

However, the history doesn’t keep La Ni\u00f1a<\/em> interested for very long. Instead, looking for cemetery Angels and imagining the stories that go with these stones keeps her captivated for hours. Below are some of our findings. <\/p>\n

We also popped over to Burnsland to say hello to Stanley Coops. He’s my only relative buried in the city.<\/p>\n
