This is the first weekend of Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans. Yesterday's day parades went on even with rain and 40 degree temps. We had some Gypsies with Camels,Chinese Dragons,Gorillas on Vespas, and marching bands (one from the rebuilt Bay St Louis). http://www.zoeicaimages.com/MardiGras2008WebGallery/ Name the large Canon and get a prize!
