I hit up my first Louisiana Mardi Gras parade last Saturday - the
Spanish Town Parade in downtown Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, most of my pics of the floats were not very good because of where we were standing (it was great for catching beads, though!), but I did wander around afterward taking pictures. You can see the good ones
here. After the parade, there were thousands of beads still on the street:
It's sort of like Mardi Gras threw up, yeah? We found lots of good strands on the ground though, and added them to our already ridiculous collection. =)
Here's to a happy &
safe Fat Tuesday, a contemplative
Ash Wednesday, a fulfilling
Lent, and the promise of a glorious
Easter! =)
I love it! Mardi gras threw up. You are too funny!
