Was riding about the beach area today. Asked about why the church bells ring so often. My town. They are supposed to ring two times an hour. I have heard them ring like 2 times in ten minutes. Guess could go to mass and find out by talking to the priest.
But, today. I was informed . Bells toll whenever someone dies or a funeral is taking place.( Likely have to be a church member?) But anyway. While riding about Argeles sur Mer, heard the bells tolling almost constantly. In riding about saw several funerals going on about a couple of different cemeteries.
I know lots of older people live in Palau. But, gosh, not that many can die in the course of day. Or esle the towns' 2100 people will soon take a swan dive.
