The next time you go to El Paso, try to have enough time to visit Concordia Cemetery. The cemetery was founded in the 1850s and there are over 60,000 people buried on the 52 acre site, so it’ll take a while to see everything.

If you plan it right (I didn’t) you might even get to join in on a ghost tour.

Also, this might have happened to me. If you go to the cemetery’s webpage, and click around until you get to the Dia de Los Muertos tab, and you get completely engrossed in looking at the pictures, you will be really, really surprised when the trumpet-y music starts up. So be careful.
