On our recent stop in New Orleans, we didn’t have as much
time as we would have liked and the weather was not the best, so Greg found us
a tour company that would take us around town and would let us take the dog
along with us. We ended up with a very
informative and comprehensive tour. I
would recommend New Orleans Native Tours (NewOrleansNativeTours.com) if you
find yourself there. Of course, the dog was allowed because it wasn't a full tour, but we really appreciated that.
As you can imagine, Olive thought she was hot
stuff getting to go on a tour that is normally reserved for people. She behaved so well, that we were proud of
her.
One of our stops along the way was to St. Louis Cemetery
#3. Before we arrived in New Orleans, I was determined
that we were going to visit one of the famous above-ground New Orleans cemeteries,
so I was a happy camper. Of course, I
could have spent a lot more time wandering around that beautiful place, but
beggars can’t be choosers and I was just glad to get an opportunity even a short one.
Here are a few fences I came across in the
cemetery:

Good for Olive! Enjoyable visit to New Orleans via your photos...I remember poKing around a very old cemetary in Micanopy in FL...but the above ground ones are so different!
my goodness! such ornate wrought iron! and yay for olive!
Sweet wrought iron, pretty gates and the cutest dog ever!
Oh, Barbara, these are so awesome! I love all, but boy, #3 is my favorite. I have never seen such a gate or anything even close...
Wow the Iron Work on those fences is just amazing. - It was fun to see Olive too, she look quite well behaved.
Love the iron! I enjoy exploring old cemeteries!
Sweet Olive! Those cemeteries are something to see. They have great fences too.
This is one place that grave sights are really fenced in. Your pup looks cute.
I find these cemeteries fascinating with their fancy vaults and fences and always think of the movie "Double Jeopardy" when I see photos of them. Olive looks like she enjoyed the tour too. :)
Who could say no to Ms. Olive? I can still remember seeing the above-ground cemeteries when I went to New Orleans during high school to march in the Mardi Gras. Quite an experience. Love the pictures.
Wonderful wrought iron ornate fences and I am glad the dog behaved. He looks cute sitting there.
The fence is beautiful. I am happy for Olive, she is a sweetie! Happy Friday!
