In the graveyard around the Watts Chapel are some beautiful carved memorial stones such as this one. The inscription reads:

'They rest from

 their labours

 and their works 

do follow them.'

It looks like a dragon, or perhaps a bird?

Museum

Presumably all about the Great American Alligator, but we haven't visited and I can't find any information or links to it. It just looks so good.

Perfect for New Orleans, but just a bit chilly for here! Now 76years old!

Snowizard New Orleans

La Boulangerie

A great place to buy bread and pastries as well as to sit and savour their coffee and sweet treats. They host an exhibition of Simon Hardeveld's work on their walls and it is a cheery place to visit. You can read the latest edition of The New Orleans Levee ('We don't hold anything back').

NYG v NE Patriots at 6.30pm EST
It's Superbowl XLVI at the Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis.

Got to support the Patriots as we've friends living up there, but I can't find out if they have special words like the Saints ------Who Dat?

And this is another of Simon Hardeveld's creations.
