We had this morning to do a little more exploring in New Orleans. So everyone headed off to see what they did not get to yesterday. I headed back to the Garden District . . .

 

. . .to see the Lafayette cemetery, I had missed.

Great shaded walking along St Charles Ave . . .

. . walked by the Blind Pelican, where I had been given a free Badger Sweet Sixteen T shirt two nights ago. Here was a new sign they had put up. If you don’t see enough fighting on Bourbon St, on a weekend, come on over here!!!!!

It’s lush down here . . . just cut anything off and it re-sprouts!!!!!

No painting of The Georgian exterior . . . need to do a little trimming every once in a while to keep the windows clear!!!!

Here was a great house I missed yesterday. It had had many expansions and facelifts . . . and in fact it was now a Cosmetic Surgery Center!!!!!

Nice ride . . .

The wall that surrounds the Lafayette Cemetery is actually crypts for the Creole folks that are buried here . . .

. . .  the more wealthy families have mausoleums for the whole family . . .

. . . Move in Ready!!!!

. . . once the coffin is inserted, the opening is bricked over and a decorative stone is cemented over that . . .

 

. . similar to what has been done here. Family members from 1809 to 2014!!!!

Several Fire Brigades had their own crypts for their members . . .

As I headed back to our area, I passed this place for sale . . . marked down to almost $8 million!!!!

Cute place with ‘fleur de lisle’ painting on the upper windows.

We are missing a HUGE music event by three days . . . but who knew when we set up our route and schedule . . .

. . . three days with 23 stages!!!!!

. . . including a Crawfish eating contest, featuring the eating champ . . .’The Black Widow’!!!

I did my best to knock off his Philly Sandwich before we headed back to Lafayette . . . succeeded too!!!

Tonight we would register for the Cycle Zydeco ride we are following through Louisiana . . .

. . . more food  . . .

. . . and Cajun Music. The fellow on the washboard to the left is a priest who would give us a send off blessing the following morning!!!!!

Chubby and is band did a great job . . .

Nice set of wheel that’s was raffled off . . . sadly no one from WI won.
