Yes, there are angels. . . . . . . . in New Orleans

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

 cafe au lait at the nearby historic Morning Call Cafe in City Park.

The angels of New Orleans were glorious.

Colorful New Orleans. . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . it was a fun time and a great place 

to visit!!! 

The 'Big Easy' - round-the-clock nightlife, street musicians, cajun food,

 'Hurricane' drinks, color, hot, humid, noisy, busy, dirty, sparkly, live music, 

French, jazz, jazz, and more jazz. . . . . . . a city of contrasts, live oaks,

 beads, trolley cars, wrought iron balconies and flowers.

The hour of traditional jazz here in the tiny, historic space (thankful I'd made

 reservations for seats) was the hilight of my visit. 

~ St. Louis Cathedral, Jackson Square ~

NOLA. . . . . and all that jazz!

Off to hear real jazz and have a fun time!

See you here next week.

Thanks for all the kind remarks about my living room makeover - 

you really are the best of friends.
