Friday, June 8 - We had a great day exploring New Orleans. Some highlights:
We took the streetcar to the Garden District. This streetcar line is the oldest continuously operated street railway line in the world, since 1835.
Most houses in the Garden District have light blue ceilings on their porches.
It supposedly is a deterrent for bugs to nest there.
We explored Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 in the Garden District,
which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
We had an impromptu tour from a caretaker of the cemetery.
We had lunch at the Camellia Grill at the other end of the Garden District.
Recommended by Sandy's neighbors, Terry and Marty. Lots of entertaining local color!
A new take on Spanish moss -- Mardi Gras beads!
