New Orleans cemetery: St. Louis #1 and some random pics.

And I thought they were just in Boston!



 Andrew Jackson memorial

 Building on the left is now a museum and is also where the Louisiana Purchase was signed.





 St. Louis Cemetery #1.
 Burial wall.
 Marie Laveau tomb.  One of the 3 most visited tombs in the US.  Voodoo practitioner. Supposed to wish on her grave and your dreams come true. Some one sneaked in about 2 weeks ago and painted the tomb pink.












 Tomb seen in the movie Easy Rider

 Tomb from the artillery battalion from the Battle of New Orleans












 And this will someday be the home of Nicholas Cage.  One of the last two plots sold in the cemetery.








 One use for those deer heads you have in your house!
