Mardi Gras!



I've watched 5 parades on nola.com paradecam today - starting at about 8:30 am with Babylon, then Okeanos, Mid-City (and their cool colored foil floats), Thoth (one of my FAVORITE krewes because they are so generous with the throws), then Bacchas, with their King, Drew Brees.

I've attached a pic from my favorite parade, Krewe of Muses. They parade at night - they were supposed to parade on Thur night, but with the crap weather in NOLA, they were moved to Friday night and I MISSED IT. I was mad at myself when I remembered to turn on the cam and they had just finished! Bah. I love the throws from Muses and the gorgeous lighted floats.

Tomorrow evening is Proteus and then, I think, Orpheus. Paradecam shows all the Uptown route parades down St Charles so you can catch lots of parades.

I really, really want to go back to Mardi Gras. Maybe next year.
