New Orleans continued



The New Orleans drive was filled with variety. We saw some beautiful old homes like this Steamboat House, but Katrina spared no neighborhoods and next door to a beautiful home would be an empty lot, a FEMA trailer, or someone's home waiting to be repaired or demolished.

We visited a cemetery and were fascinated by the beautiful crypts, many a hundred years old. Many of them housed six to twelve caskets, some had stained glass windows that were visible through the front grilling.

Our stay was short, but we enjoyed the tour. Thanks to Don and Jackie!
