Accidently Joined a Tour by Michael R.

The cemetary is open to public strolling, which we did, and is also a destination for expensive guided tours, one of which was being conducted quite near our private stroll. The tour guide was incensed, felt like we were eavesdropping and insisted that we back off or pay $17 per person. To avoid such unseemly scenes in such a august place it is good to be alert to such tours and give them the courtesy of some space.

We went on a tour. I wasn’t a happy camper as I was soaking wet from being caught with no shelter at the zoo just beforehand. Nevertheless it was awe-inspiring to see all the graves. Plus, I’m a big Anne Rice fan :)

I wonder how much of this survived... by euterpe35

I shot this photo during Mardi Gras week in 2004.

I really enjoyed the tour (if you go, make sure you take the tour, it’s not safe otherwise)
