The Funny Cemetery

The weather was gray and foggy, besides we were all sore from skiing, so we didn't do anything terribly sportly today. Instead we drove into Innsbruck, where went first to the Markthalle and then walked around the Altstadt.















Afterwards, we drove to the town of Kramsach where Steffen and Veronika knew of an interesting old "funny cemetery." (Lustiger Friedhof) It had old grave signs with funny sayings on them, often describing how the people died, in poetry. The first photo talks about the death of his wife, who often fought with him, and says "Dear Wanderer, please hurry away, otherwise she will get up and fight with you!" The second one, outlined in gold, tells in a poem of a man crushed to death by his cow.
