In April, 2008, I visited the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, United States of America. I arrived around 8:30 am on a cloudy Sunday morning. I hoped to avoid the crowd, but I had no such luck. Serveral tour buses were already disgorging visitors of all ages.

I went to the visitor center to get a map of the cemetery, which is essential for navigating the 624 acres. I only had the opportunity to visit a small portion of the cemetery.
