Art of the Grave
Apparently, the cemetery was not only a place of the dead but also a place for local artists to test out new paint colors... Talk about multitasking a location!

Egypt in New Orleans
Apparently Egyptians (or depending on you view, aliens) also lived and died in New Orleans. If he'd had a little more time, Foo would have broken in and seen if he could find any of that gold he's heard about. But he didn't want to risk running into a cursed mummy when it was nearly time to hit the road again.

Job for Foo
Foo was excited to see that if it ever happens that Foo can no longer travel all over the country having great adventures that he can always find work as a door ornament for one of the graves in this graveyard. But he's not sure about having the ring in his mouth all the time... yuck...

Doth Protest Too Much
Foo thought this part of the cemetery was particularly interesting. This was the Protestant section, and unlike the rest of the crowded aisles and aisles and aisles of tightly packed tombs in the Catholic section, this one was nearly empty... Foo's conclusion? Either there aren't that many Protestants in New Orleans or they're immortal...

Bad Plumbing
As Foo wandered the graveyard, he came upon this harshly destroyed grave, which appeared to have some bad water damage. Lesson learned, even in the graveyard, it's important to check on the plumbing.

Grave Situation
When Foo heard that all the graveyards in New Orleans were above ground, he just had to see for himself. Sure enough it was like a city... a city of the dead.
As he wandered up and down the aisles, some of the "streets" were wider, some narrow. Some of the graves beautiful, others decrepit.
But the sun was always shining brightly and kept the ghosty ghouls at bay. He's just not sure he'd like to wander around here at night!
