New Orleans, Garden District

Ella and I still had another tour in the afternoon. Part of the adventure is getting to the Garden District. It's quite far from the French Quarter. It gave us the opportunity to take the city's trolley system.

For lunch, we went to a sandwich shop where I got my first taste of alligator! It was pretty good! Afterwards, we made our way to our Garden District Cemetery tour, which ended up being such a small group that it eventually turned into Ella's ideal American Horror Story Coven tour.

Our tour guide was great and I'm pretty sure he lives in the area. He showed us all the specific spots the coven filmed at. He then took us on a tour around the Garden District and showed us not just haunted homes with creepy histories but also celebrity homes. So now I know which one is Sandra Bullock's house. We saw where they filmed the Benjamin Button movie. We learned that the housing prices for such large historic homes which by the way have a lot of land are not all that expensive.

The tour ended up being more than three hours long but it was well worth it. We saw so many beautiful and haunted homes and now know extensive details on the area and the celebrities who live there. We made friends with our other two tour members and we had coffee in the same place afterwards. All photos courtesy of Ella.
