A45 NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 55, NO. 10 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE OCTOBER 2016 Jackson Square St. Louis Cathedral Cemetery French Quarter Guest Program Explore the city's most unique cemetery, St. Louis No. 1. Unlike other cities, all tombs are above-ground here and were frequently designed by famous architects. You'll visit the tombs of both the famous and infamous like Paul Morphy, the world chess champion, and Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the oldest church still standing in the city. The building was built in 1826 and was originally used as burial grounds for the fallen victims of yellow fever. Now, this is the official chapel of the New Orleans Police and Fire Departments. Next, take a brief tour of the Garden District and visit the old Lafayette Cemetery. Established in 1833, Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a non-segregated, non- denominational cemetery. Perhaps the most famous residents are fictional. The tomb for the Mayfair witches, created by Anne Rice in The Witching Hour, fits a combination of the Lafayette and Jefferson fireman tombs. Lafayette Cemetery has been featured in many films including Double Jeopardy and Dracula. $73 per person, based on a 20-person minimum Includes: Deluxe roundtrip transportation, admission to St. Louis I Cemetery, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Lafayette I Cemetery, and all taxes, gratuities, and insurance. Wednesday, March 29 Louisiana Flatboat Swamp Tour 9:15 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Forget about the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter and experience another kind of "wildlife." Enter the land of swamps and marshes, home to hundreds of species of unique and interesting animals and discover the land that gave birth to Cajun culture and cuisine. Boarding a specially designed pontoon boat, this excursion starts on a bayou… local parlance for a small rivulet or stream. Gnarled and twisted cypress stumps and branches lushly draped with Spanish moss line the banks of this waterway. On this meandering cruise, the captain, a native of the region, provides an interesting and entertaining narrative of the history of this massive swampland. Catch a glimpse of any number of animals that inhabit the area: bald eagles, alligators, blue herons, snappin' turtles, and water snakes— the list goes on. You will even get a peek at an authentic Cajun "trapper's shack" nestled in this beautiful swampland. For a truly fun and fantastic visit outside of the city, visit Louisiana's other wildlife! $113 per person, based on 20-person minimum Box lunch included Includes: Deluxe roundtrip transportation, narrated swamp tour, box lunch, and all applicable taxes, gratuities and insurance.
