On our early morning bus tour of the city of New Orleans, we stopped at
the Saint Louis Cemetery #3 (there are three cemeteries). Most of the
graves are above-ground vaults built in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The cemetery was heavily flooded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
in 2005 however most of its tombs escaped relatively unscathed.
Perhaps the beautiful angels on high were watching out for them.
On a sunny morning, before the heat of the day set in, this was a stop
before heading for the typical local breakfast of excellent beignets and
before heading for the typical local breakfast of excellent beignets and
cafe au lait at the nearby historic Morning Call Cafe in City Park.
The angels of New Orleans were glorious.
