New Orleans: Cemetery & French Quarter

On Monday, we spent our last day seeing all of the last minute things to see. Amy & I were scheduled to meet up with our team on Monday evening. We toured the French Quarter, the French Market, got Beignets, & walked through an old cemetery!



Jackson Square







The street plaques reminded me of Old San Juan, PR.



We hit up the famous, Cafe DuMonde for beignets aka friend doughnuts!







We went to the French Market - A big outdoor market with a ton of vendors selling stuff from sunglasses to tshirts to alligator heads!











The Mississippi River

We then went to the oldest cemetery in NOLA.





Above ground graves are made so that families can be stacked on top of each other.

This is the tomb of Voodoo Priestess, Marie Laveau. If you knock on her grave & ask her for a favor, she will grant it!
