New Orleans St. Paul #1 cemetery Monday May 10th


What a fun place…New Orleans. We spent the day being tourists and had a great time. Our day began at the information center, which is one of the nicest we’ve seen. It was quite elegant with marble floors even in the bathroom. Across the street we toured the St. Paul #1 cemetery, which in like most of the ones in New Orleans, the graves are above ground. A number of movie scenes have been filmed there and we even found the grave of Marie Leveau, the infamous voudou queen ( 1801-1881). The interest in that kind of stuff, even today, is pretty spooky.
