Maybe one of the things New Orleans is most famous for are its cemeteries, which have above-ground tombs. You can imagine that I’d get in a cemetery visit or two while I was in town, and so I headed over to this one early one morning.

(Outside the gates, there was a man selling bottled water. It was, he said, the cheapest water in town. A travel tip from me to you.)
