Mardi Gras!


Okay folks, here we are on Mardi Gras day, and I'm out here on the balcony with my camcorder, it's a little overcast and "drizzley"... but as you'll see, it doesn't faze a Mardi Gras!

Let's take a look around the French Quarter at the crowds and the "costumes"! (click on the pictures to see a larger version)



crowd



It's getting jammed and it's only 9am! Look at em' all...they look like busy ants!






balcony



Even the balconies are jammed, and they're throwing beads down to the crowd....






jesters


I see lots of people dressed as jesters...always a popular costume for Mardi Gras







jeannie




Look, it's "I Dream of Jeannie" down there in the crowd!







flagpeople




Now here's a patriotic family.....









greenears



Hmmmm, green ears and pig noses... anybody want to guess what they're suppose to be??!






jesters





More jesters, in Mardi Gras colors this time!








mermaid





Awww, isn't she cute, a little mermaid!








nuns


Now this "could" actually be some nuns and priests, everybody goes to Mardi Gras...nooo...don't think so!




Not everybody is in costume of course, most are in everyday clothes, you see a lot of green, gold and purple though!

Oh... I hear music, here comes the parade!! Click Here!
