Mardi Gras Beyond New Orleans

Posted by breading in Interesting, Orlando, USA, Useful Links 101, Vacations on 02 18th, 2009

When one think of the Mardi Gras.. you think of New Orleans.. but of course.. afterall… it is said.. that Mardi Gras is the grandest here.   Yes.. i’ve had the pleasure to be in one.. and every vacationer was on the street celebrating.. and partying.  It gets quite wild.. i tell yer.. plus it is a public holiday.. if i didn’t remember incorrectly.

We did have loads of fun.. but that was a few years ago.. when we saw this swanky mamas on the celebrating too. Window Blinds were all taken out. .and you can see people everywhere.. throwing beads.  But truth be told.. it isn’t New Orleans that is celebrating Mardi Gras alone.  So far, Mobile, Ala., Orlando, Fla., St. Louis, Mo & even Vail, Colo in the mountains are throwing a bash.  So if you are heading to the USA, to any of these state, be sure to plan .. to go for the Mardi Gras party.. and be prepared to dress up eh.
