We toured the French Quarter by day and had a blast. We walked all over the place, including one of the cemetaries. We also took a city sightseeing hop on/hop off tour.

We also toured Bourbon Street by nite, and you can have it. I saw more drunk people spilling drinks and worse than at a frat party! Steve thought it was fun, though.

Steve went back one other day to tour the WWII museum.
Here are some of the Mardi Gras floats we saw in the warehouses!
Here are some of the tombs in the graveyard we visited:
 |
| This is Nicholas Cage's tomb that he pre-purchased and had erected. It has lipstick kisses all over it from his fans. |
 |
| This is a wall tomb. Each hole was owned by a family (as long as they paid the rent) and the previous body was just pushed to the back and down the hole to make room for the new one. |
 |
| single family tomb |
 |
| Newer wall tomb (only one body per opening.) |
