Me; Explorer

I went out for a walk, because staying in the house all day is well and truly suffocating. Having moved to a new town, this is actually the first time I've gone out for a leisurely walk. I must say, the routes were not nearly as scenic as my old ones, with neat laid out paths, tall reeds and little ponds with ducks in them. I walk down the street- and there were no paths, only the road which looks like it needs to be repaired and the front lawn of local residents. So I casually stomp across the badly-tended lawns, for fear of getting run over by reckless drivers which seem to populate this town.

I got to the end of the street I live, and walk about 10 steps before I realize that there was a cemetery across the road. It was a not a large cemetery; the fences looked more decorative than protective. I guess it's lucky that there doesn't seem to be many rabbits around. I walk in casually because there was no gate and no obvious enclosure except for the decorative fence which only stretched about 100 meters. I don't know what prompted me to visit a cemetery on a leisurely walk.

Now that I think about it, there was a cemetery quite close to where I used to live before, too. It was further away but still within walking distance, and I drove past it almost every day. Maybe I just have an affinity for these things...

Anyway, I walked into the cemetery, and it was actually quite a pretty sight, if you overlooked what the neat little marble stones represented. The Sun was warm and orange, so it cast pretty lights across the slopes the cemetery was built on. I spotted a little cottage a bit further into the cemetery, and for a moment I understood why anyone would want to live there.

After that I just kinda left the cemetery and walked around the suburb aimlessly. It wasn't very exciting, now that I think about it. In the end it makes no sense- I can't believe I walked into a cemetery for no good reason, other than it was "pretty" and I wanted to take a look. I feel like a 5 year old...

And thus concludes my recount of my adventures today.
