New Orleans pt. 3

 Friday Morning, 10/24/14 - After an honest good night's sleep we are back into the French Quarter headed for coffee and a cemetery tour.
 Angela is excited to start her 3rd day in New Orleans!
 Ross glances casually over his shoulder, all the while disapproving of the cargo shorts passing him on the left.
 In the streets of the quarter our tour guide under an umbrella begins.
 Here we go into Saint Louis Cemetery Number One.  For some interesting reading about burial styles and traditions in New Orleans go here.  This is pretty much what we were told on our tour.






Offerings left for an ancestor.



This is the future home of Nick Cage.
Modern legend states that wearing red lip stick and kissing his grave helps you with Tax problems.  Oddly specific huh?  Too bad he can't help himself with that.
Ross is gettin' Tomby.
This is the tomb of a false voodoo queen, so says the umbrella tour guide.

Somewhere in this cemetery are the remains of Plessy, of Plessy Vs. Ferguson fame.
 This horse wanted to say hello to all external mind drive readers.
 After the tour I waited in line to get Po'Boys for Angie and.
 And I walked past this place in the day time.
 We had some time to kill so we decided to ride the trolly car and see some parts of the city that aren't the quarter.
 hats and glasses.


We had to send this cute to go chardonnay cup shout out to adrienne.


After our Trolly Car adventure we had to head back to our room and begin the project of getting ready for the costume party.  Look for that in Part 4.
