Cemetery Tour

Jay came to visit us a the weekend before Thanksgiving. One of the things he really wanted to do while he was here was go on a Cemetery Tour in New Orleans. If you know anything about Michael then you know he does not like anything scary! We convinced him this would not be a scary tour and we picked one during the day. It of course did not help his nerves when we got to the meeting place and the stickers we had to put on said Haunted Cemetery Tours! Our tour guide was really cool and seemed to like his job and the history of New Orleans really well. When we got to the cemetery it was such a cool sight...all the tombs are above ground. It is the only way people are burried in New Orleans since the ground is so wet. The tour guide told us, back in the day, it was not uncommon to see your loved ones floating in the streets after a large thunderstorm! The tombs are very impressive. I wish I had a wide lense on my camera so you can see all of it. This is the best picture I could get. Luckily for Michael the tour ended up being very informative and not scary at all!
