You better keep up! - Great experience with Mama Nita. She went into great detail about how the cemetery works. Lots of historical facts given. It was a quick trip through the cemetery, but it didn't feel like anything was left out. I really enjoyed Mama Nita's energy and excitement throughout the tour. And you better keep up. She doesn't have time for you to lolly gag!
