Notes

The weekend before Memorial Day of 2023, I took a trip to Washington DC.

On the morning of my last day in DC, I checked out of the AirBNB and went to my last three stops - all by city bus, and while hauling my suitcase. Which was a big pain in the ass for this one, as it was a long walk from the bus stop to the cemetery, and then a long walk (much of it uphill) to the gravesite once I got there.

McKenna's grave is in Section 50, all the way to the right in a row near from of the section.

From here, I had a long wait in the sun to wait for a bus to take me over the border into Maryland to Cedar Hill Cemetery.
