Nice documenting, Adam! While I will agree that it was annoying, its a calm and eerie quietude that you have captured here. Dig!

pheh, you didn't have to deal with flashlights in the eyes, overcautious security guards, and annoying teenagers. Glad to do it once, but...would not recommend it.

actually, i was good til the drunk teenage girls started screeching rihanna songs and fat old people started sitting on top of tombstones every time the group paused for more than two seconds, heh. it was a textbook vignette of american herd-mentality. or perhaps it was the fact that 75% of the people on the tour appeared to be drunk, hahaha. some people have no respect for the immediate context. i kept waiting to spot someone peeing behind a tombstone... that would have been the flick of the evening!

that being said, it was worth it to get inside the catacombs, but at $20 a pop for such a brief logistical-clusterfuck-that-only-hit-a-few-high-points tour (especially given the giant, unruly crowd) it was clearly not much more than a money-making venture for the green-wood historic fund :(

ill post my photos in this thread when i get home, though... i did get some nice ones, all things considered...
