Today (July 27th) we left New Orleans to head for Mississippi.  On the way we stopped to look at some old homes in New Orleans and go to a Sugar Cane Plantation along the Mississippi River.

This was our Hotel the Dauphine Orleans
It was a very pleasant Hotel right in the heart of the French Quarters
-
The next few photo's are of Homes in the Garden District of New Orleans
This was the American influence on New Orleans

-
This particular home was surrounded by a Corn Stalk fence and I believe the house is a Bed and Breakfast called the Corn Stalk Inn-
-
Here is a close up of the unique fence

We wrapped up our stay in New Orleans by visiting Cemetery #1
All of the graves are buried above ground because New Orleans is below Sea Level and the caskets would float to the top otherwise

on Page 2 of July 27th we will drive down the Mississippi to a beautiful Sugar Cane Plantation
