Another day looking around town. I catch the trolly up to another cemetery for a great example of how to bury people above ground. If buried underground here the coffins just pop out of the ground when it floods.
I catch the ferry to go across to the other side of the Mississippi River to visit Algiers Point. This is an old part of New Orleans and the wooden houses here are beautiful. I believe thus side escaped the flooding. Tradies seem busy doing all sorts of renovations.
Not all is rosy in New Orleans. The news is filled with murders happening in parts of the town and we are being warned not to go into certain areas sadly because some of those parts are of historic interest.
