In any other town, Cafe Negril would have been our last stop, on the account of the late hour. But in New Orleans the rock-a-blues band, whose name escapes me at the moment only whetted our appetite, well, rather our thirst, to continue on 'til the not-wee-anymore hours of the morning. This was, perhaps understandably my last coherent image for the day . . .

Holt is - I believe - the only in-ground cemetery in New Orleans, and the one predominantly for the poor. Unlike the others, unprotected by marble blocks, it massively shows its abandonment and decay. Holt Cemetery, nevertheless will leave you evermore touched by the color spots of its ordinary memorabilia hangin on its crosses and stones like cheap trinkets on the girls at the tavern by the tracks on a Saturday night. Heartening and beautiful, where you would least expect to find it.
