First stop was the Lafayette Cemetery. Rows of above ground tombs in the land of high water table.

Some tombs are for community groups like this one for the Jackson Fire Brigade.

The Garden District was/is home to wealthy residents. In the mid 1800's it was cotton merchants and sea captains.

Later it was Archie Manning

and Sandra Bullock

We also saw the former home of the lead singer of 9 Inch Nails.
Speaking of heavy metal, check out this fleur-de-lis bike rack.

After the tour and lunch at a local seafood restaurant we drove to Bourbon Street for some jazz.

We didn't take the trolley but the fresh paint looks great.
