Visitors leave offerings to the voodoo priests & priestesses when visiting various shops around the city
Day two in New Orleans
Grits with a side of beignets before the bayou tour
Beyond the Bayou tour
First adult vacation with my kid. It was so THE best
The bayou is amazing. It’s so foreign to anything I’ve ever seen. Seriously magical.
School bus fishing cabin
There were fishing cabins all up & down the bayou. Some clever person turned this bus into a cabin. Unfortunately it got burned out in a Cajun dispute 😆
Nature is amazing. Totally in love with these exposed root systems
You can’t tour St Louis Cemetary No.1 without a tour guide. The reason is because there are three vaults in the cemetary that are rumored to contain the remains of voodoo priestess Marie Laveau. Followers of hers started marking up the vaults as a sign of respect - which obviously caused a lot of damage. The guide wouldn’t confirm if she was actually in any of them 😉
These triple XXXs are made by Marie Laveau’s devotees
Nicholas Cage’s vault. He had three existing vaults moved so he could place his here. Kind of a dick move IMO
He also paid for perpetual care...what a surprise
I have a thing for rough, worn textures. This cemetary was gold.
