Strange Things!

April 18, 2010

Boy did I get in trouble! That last post would not upload. When I finally did get it to post, my computer locked up. I had to shunt everything down. It took a lot of time to get everything working again. I guess I should be careful about spirits, not that I am superstitious . But why tempt the fates. This is the city of a lot of supernatural happenings. It is a big industry. They have ghost walks through the city. There are haunted tours in the French Quarter. Graveyard tours are very popular and voodoo shops are everywhere. It makes for some interesting shopping.
