Parade!! Who can say New Orleans and Mardi Gras? Yes!! We are having a blast!!
Today, we went to the uptown parades along St Charles.
After a beautiful sleep, I walked to my friends AirBnB where more local friends of theirs had already arrived.
Rain was promised and we were all hoping that it would wait! And it did!
Big floats, marching bands, horses, cars - all was represented.
Lots of pretty cool Motorcycles as well.
People brought their own stands to be able to see better.
Many ladders with seats for kids were lining the streets - the adults just brought a ladder for themselves. Many came early, like at 4 AM to reserve their spot. In the same spot for the last 20 years. That is what one guy told me.
We watched one Parade together- then the baby needed a nap.
My #steemfriends #roadtrip crew @improv, @stinawog, @loch, and @bergelmirsenpai took off.
I wandered along St Charles and watched a second parade.
Only, I didn’t take too many pictures since my phone was low and I needed to find my way home via google map.
Picked up some dinner and got some writing time in.
Now, it is raining very hard. But should be done by tomorrow- we hope!
