Somebody left some yummy cake, at least the ants think it's yummy.

More offerings.

I kept wondering about all the tiny baby offerings, I figured it was about fertility, maybe it is, but I found out these little babies are inside the Mardi Gras cakes, so there must be an abundance of them. This one has a mohawk, lol.

Marie Laveau Tomb

A visit to New Orleans isn't complete with a visit to St Louis Cemetery #1 and the tomb of the Voodoo Priestess, Marie Laveau.  Many people visit her grave to give offering and ask for things. People draw three xes in the hopes their wish will be granted.
