Mardi Gras

[FunkyCold5]

Trip was a success! 4 days is definitely not enough time to spend in NOLA. I have to admit, I'm glad I experienced Mardi Gras before the peak weekend and experience it at peak (minus the Fat Tuesday).

I will try to post pictures of the ones I can when I upload from the camera.

Dunno if you guys knew, but 5 of us drove down. So, I got back 7am this morning. 19 hours of driving straight through the night, still need to get reacclimated with the normal world and with sleep.

Linked up with Bo (Alcibiates) at Cafe du Monde and had some great coffe, beignet and he gifted me a cigar called Devil's Weed. Mild smoke, but considering it was early in the morning, I had only 4 hours of sleep and not even a cup of water for the past day, it was a perfect cigar to smoke.

FOOD was AWESOME!

Nice to hear you had fun and made it back in one piece.

I have to admit, I'm glad I went there before the rush to experience NOLA just before Mardi Gras AND then experience NOLA at peak Mardi Gras weekend.

I would definitely do it again. It was like being in college all over again, without the exams the next morning!

Had to take in as much of NOLA in 4 days as I can. Avg 3-4 hours of sleep (worth it).
