"Where Am I?" Graveyard Edition has a winner! TSGaji was the first person to identify the name of the mountain (Mt. Vaea), the country in which it is situated (Samoa), and the wordsmith who is buried at the site (Robert Louis Stevenson) featured in this photo.
We thought we'd include some words from the reader, Evelyn Kruse, who submitted this great photo:
"When Stevenson died, the Samoans quickly cut a path through the jungle to carry his body up to this site at the top of the mountain, which overlooks his final home in Vailima. The natives called this path 'the road of loving hearts.' When his wife died, she was also brought here to be laid to rest with her husband."
