Mardi Gras

When that first strand of beads hit me in the head, I knew vie arrived at

Mardi Gras. Garish floats, masked strangers, marching bands, throngs of revelers

invading my space... For newcomers, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the

madness. But that first string of low-flying beads? I knew it was an invitation to

join the fun. I’ve never seen so much Purple, gold, and green until this week. All I

could do was accept the beads and embrace the chaos. As floats constantly pass by

ill notice that there was a theme to every parade which matched up with their

costumes that was in interesting and amusing sight to see. It was my first year of

carnivals and I loved everything about it, especially living on st Charles being able

to glimpse out the window to catch all of the weird and awkward moments of

everyone on hardcore booze.   It was an experience I enjoyed greatly, the

countdown for 2017 mardi gras begin.
