Adventures!
New Orleans is awesome! It's unlike any other urban area I've seen. The French Quarter is historic and beautiful. The streets are full of music, art, and adorable little stores. The garden district has parks and beautiful homes, plus an awesome rope swing!
We got to visit the awesome above ground cemeteries. Creepy, but cool.
We even saw Nicolas Cage's future tomb! It's widely out of place...
