I loved that the film shamelessly embraced New Orleans' mythic voodoo milieu. The crazy dances with slinky Dr. Facilier and his soul-stealing compadres were deliriously dark (again, recalling more adult-themed animation of the 1920s and '30s). The sorts of suspicious parents who consider Halloween to be a satanic holiday should keep their kids away from these visually engaging, toe-tapping sequences from "the other side. After all Disney's time- and globe-hopping to exotic locales, it's satisfying to see the gang wind up here at home, in colorful New Orleans: baroque mansions and shotgun houses, streetcars and steamboats, cemeteries and bottle trees, and an unself-conscious mix of white and black characters.

For our 44th anniversary, we met my sister Sunday and her husband, Sebastian Lanza of Cape Coral, Fla., in Biloxi, Miss., and took a guided tour of New Orleans to see the famed cemeteries and beautiful mansions. Tip: Beware when asking for directions - instead of "North," "South," "East" and "West," they say "Uptown," "Downtown," "River" and "Lake.

- Touring with the Dead ; for Artistic Beauty and Significance, Historic Cemeteries Fascinate Visitors
I admit I was a bit skeptical when it was suggested that we tour a cemetery while staying in Milan for a few days. For weeks, I had carefully studied train schedules and guide books and plotted a two-week trip for five girlfriends to Milan, Venice and Florence.

In early 1941, Edward Weston was approached by the Limited Editions Club of New York and invited to make photographs to illustrate its deluxe edition of Walt Whitman's epic poetry collection "Leaves of Grass." Although he initially balked at the suggestion, the opportunity the project offered to travel cross- country and visit parts of the United States that were new to him convinced Weston to take the assignment. Beginning Dec. 30, the Portland Museum of Art features the photo exhibition "Weston: Leaves of Grass." The show includes 53 black- and-white photographs by Weston that follow the route of his trip.

No doubt the women hadn't read the guidebook "Access New Orleans" when they wandered into St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 last month. This is one of the most dangerous cemeteries in town, and the only way to see it safely is with a group tour," the book warns.
