I have been in New Orleans for three full days. I have gone on a voodoo tour, led by the owner of the New Orleans voodoo museum (a fascinating man with an encyclopedic knowledge of local history and a rather regrettable boil the size of a grapefruit) who knew a great deal about the topic and once wrote a paper which wound up being the basis for a ( Read more... )
