61 photographs of Mexico added to the account of our holiday
It’s a fortnight now since Vee and I returned from a wonderful two-week holiday in Mexico. I was blogging about the trip each day during the journey and then, when I came home, I pulled together all the blog postings into a continuous narrative for my web site, adding some links to further information.
It’s quite a long account and not everyone will want to read all of it. But I’ve now added 61 photographs which illustrate every location that we visited. You can check them out here.

Fascinating account of your trip as ever, Roger.
I was particularly interested in the storing of bones in an ossuary. This is a practice the customs of which were also described memorably and at length by Louis de Bernieres in his ‘Birds Without Wings’ (a ‘prequel’ to ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’) set before and then, crucially, during the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922. So there is an Orthodox perspective on this, too.

So perhaps the practice is not as peculiar as I first thought – although I think that it is losing its appeal to the younger generation.
