LaFayette Cemetery No. 1

This is the first installment of our New Orleans trip re-cap. Visiting an old cemetery was high on the list of things we wanted to do, and it certainly did not disappoint. 


From Scotland, an engineer, and a Thompson.  Perhaps some sort of relation?


Couldn't resist a creepy sister picture (a la The Shining).

While exploring, we ran into an 86 year old tour guide.  After an impromptu story time about her escape from Hurricane Katrina, she made sure to point out this empty tomb.
We were tempted to climb in....


While most would think an afternoon in a graveyard would be a bit unsettling, it was quite the opposite. We left feeling peaceful and inspired, and would have spent the whole day there if we could!
