Everyone loves to stroll through the cemeteries in NOLA to admire the tombstones elevated above the saturated earth. This is one of the classic cemeteries and one that attracts a lot of tourists.

This was one of the stops for the Hop On Hop Off bus, and we purchased the separate ticket for the tour. I found it to be very informative.
