  1. Wow, but that looks like fun. Is that umbrella sporting a flamingo? I think I need one something like that. Thanks for taking me with you to that fun time.

  2. Having had the opportunity to celebrate Mardi Gras one year in Louisiana, near the French Quarter, I can say they do throw good parties. Glad I had the opportunity, but not sure I’d do it again.

  3. From what I have seen, their parades are more polished. But I am hardly an expert – and I really enjoyed the marching band part of the parades here.

  4. I’ve not been to Mardis Gras in Galveston; I did live in Slidell (near NOLA) and went to Mardis Gras every year. I live in Santa Fe Nm currently.This year I was craving King Cake, so I called Randazzo’s Bakery (they made it so easy) in NOLA and ordered a king size King Cake to share at our guild’s sew day. Many of the members never heard of Mardis gras, while others had either lived in or visited NOLA. There were memories shared of past Mardis Gras fun. The gals devoured the King Cake. Laissez Le Bon Temp Rouler and Happy Mardis gras

  5. What fun! I’ve always wanted to go to a parade and didn’t even realize it extended to communities beyond New Orleans. Galveston looks like a great celebration. Thanks for sharing so many great pictures. One of the patients at the infusion center brings beads and cake to the nurses every year. He chooses some one to pick what kind of cake, and this year, it was my nurse, who chose apple. Sadly, it isn’t for patients. LOL I thought it was nice of him, though. They were all wearing necklaces of the three bead colors.
