February 21 & 22, New Orleans

We checked out of our efficiency apartment on Saturday morning and drove to Louisiana where we finally found warm weather. When we checked into our downtown hotel, the Pierre Maisonne Lafitte, on Canal and Roosevelt streets. Temperature 75 degrees and on Sunday it was 81.
This hotel was built in 1840




 Saturday afternoon we went to Jackson Square and toured the city without all the Mardi Gras madness.





On Sunday morning we did a walking tour of the St. Louis Cemetery #1.
We met our tour guide art the Déjà Vu





The infamous Marie Laveaux, the voodoo queen is thought to be buried here




Nicholas Cage has a crypt here though no one knows why




This is where the protestants are buried, in the back of the cemetery
