Mardi Gras Week in New Orleans

---

Christin drove us all the way to the Big Easy. We hit a wicked thunderstorm about an hour before we got there and saw a big 18 wheel tanker slide off the rode. Before he slid off the rode he passed us at 70 mph.

I will come back and ad a bunch of text, but I needed to upload the images first.

Christin at the River Shack
A new orleans Classic down on River Road. Bar stools are in the shape of various bottom halves of people, and across the street is the River Levee

Inferno Glass Studio
I contacted the owner of the glass gallery and will meet up with him and some other artists when we get back. It is located in a very interesting neighborhood.

Kids training to catch beads in the background
We caught the parad on St. Charles Street. Hulk Hogan was the star of the parade. I missed some great photos of some Hulk-Wanta-be's

Baby being trained for parades
They start them young in the Big Easy. It is funny seeing all the different ages of people who have been doing this for generations.

New York Pizza on Magazine St.
Magazine street is changing, but some things stay the same.

Tent city under I-10
I think even one of the Radio stations was broadcasting from under I-10. Crazy is as Crazy does, and they are all doing it under the overpass.
