Happy to share the Mardi madness with you, Maria! And yes, my sister and I are told that all the time! 🙂

You’ll love it! It really is unbelievably unique.

I actually really enjoyed it and would do it again! I think I had a pretty different perspective than most because I was with my sister who lives there so I rarely felt like I was competing with other tourists for this ideal Mardi Gras experience, if you know what I mean. I would cross my fingers for better weather on Fat Tuesday next time, though!

So thanks for this blog post! Looks like great fun!

Great photo of you and your sister! You are so alike, you look like twins. 🙂

My Episcopalian college shut down for it each February, but because I played college tennis–and spring is tennis season–I never got to go. And I can’t say these days I have a desire to either…

Indeed, Mardi Gras is like a crash course in New Orleans style living 🙂

Actually these photos were taken with my dSLR (shown in the first photo) not with my point and shoot! Sorry if I was unclear!

I’ve never heard of Notting Hill Carnival… but I’m off to see if the dates happen to coincide with my one week trip there!
