Queens cemetery vs. New Orleans cemetery. The historic house museum where my new office is lies right behind the St. Louis #3 cemetery, on the bayou. I haven't had a chance to walk back there yet as it's only my 2nd day on the job.
The Pitot House was built in 1799 and the first mayor of New Orleans lived here. In the morning the assistant and I come and open all the green shutters and hook them back so light can come in on the 1700s furniture (the punkah aka fly swatter attached to the ceiling). There is a big garden with ginger and grapefruit trees and magnolias and cycads blooming.
