The second morning was just as perfect as our first morning. We had a tour of St. Louis #1 with the French Quarter Phantoms at 11 am. We met again at the iconic Voodoo Lounge and walked to the cemetery.
The tour was really cool, but I did not take many pictures. I was consumed by the storytelling of the tour guide. She was so knowledgable of the different stories and families in the crypts. There were a couple of things that I consider to be highlights of that tour. The Italian mausoleum (above) and the grave of the Voodoo Queen herself, Madame Marie Laveau (below).
After the tour, my girlfriend and I took another mid-day nap. Then, we went to explore the French Quarter again. We could have walked those streets every day for a week, and I would still have found something new to look at every time. The whole vibe of the city is so mellow. There’s definitely no question as to why they call New Orleans “The Big Easy”. When you get to New Orleans, the city just embraces you. Everyone is there to have a good time, and they all do just that. From the beads on the street lamps to the street performers and the mobile parties that ride through the streets, New Orleans is a one-of-a-kind city. There’s no denying that.
