New Orleans Day 2

Today a music festival started in the French Quarter where we are staying and it is very busy.  We decided to leave the music until tomorrow and took the street car out to the Mid City district.  Our first stop was to look at one the amazing cemetries in the City where families have huge tombs to bury their dead. The one we looked at covers 105 acres and there were three more of similar size in the same area.

We moved on to the City Park where we spent the day wandering round the Park which is bigger than New York's Central Park and houses the Art Museum and an interesting Sculputre Park.
