 New Orleans, Louisiana,
the home of Mardi Gras, is the only place in the United States you can
actually spend a vacation speaking French and listen to the best jazz in
the world. It's a non-stop party in New Orleans. Similar to Las Vegas but
without the (legal) gambling. Whether your taste is for Cajun food, French
food or any type of food, you'll find it one of the hundreds of fine
restaurants.
 The contemporary history of New Orleans dates all the way back to the
1600's with the first French settlement of the area. Since "The Big
Easy" is 15 feet below sea level, one of the first problems settlers
encountered were coffins popping out of the ground. This led to the above
ground mausoleums and tombs New Orleans if famous for.
