'Da Quata' --French Quater

   Day three, four and five,

Pie and Jan Ferrell were to bring me back to Lafayette for a few days but first, we spent some time in down town New Orleans.

I was so fortunate to catch Miss Verline at work for a minute. This woman is my favorite recent convert. She exemplifies great strength in the Savior. I long for the Gone with the Wind days when she could have been my 'mammy'- I would always picture it. 

I love the French influence! Its everywhere.

Moulin Rouge anyone?
 ''My name is Henri Marie Raymond Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa.''

Back of the St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square.

I love this shot.

The museums and cemeteries were favorites.
The cemeteries are MONUMENTAL. The following are quite little compared to the majority.
Unique to the area. ( Below sea level, flooding is a big probability. If flooding were to occur, the built up cement is to prevent bodies from floating all over the place--eeek)

Idiot people- many tombs have been broken in and robbed of their goodness.
