Mardis Gras

Mardis Gras. I hadn’t known a thing about this holiday until I took a trip last week down to New Orleans, Louisiana to visit my father. This holiday is supposedly a religious Christian holiday to celebrate and feast before they fast for like forty days. By the looks of it to me, it is just another holiday for Christians and people to drink and party. I have nothing against this of course! I absolutely had a blast walking down Bourbon St. getting beads thrown at my head from above and being around thousands of crazy awesome partiers! There were some very exotic people that went all out on their Mardis Gras celebration stuff! I ended up getting one fo those multicolored polo striped Mardis Gras t-shirts with a hood from Wal-Mart. Down south was just nuts! They had at least one parade every day for like a whole month but I was only there for a week but still! There were a lot of women (and men) that would flash their stuff to the people up in balconies so that they would throw them some beads. People were just having fun and I really enjoyed it! I am a partier myself and to be around that many people who also love to party was absolutely fantastic! I can’t wait to go down again! I had also gone to one of my father’s wife’s children’s parades and received a ton of beads! Like, no joke, there were probably a ton of beads around my neck by the time I got home! The whole time I was down there it was just fun the whole time. There was rarely ever a time where I was either bored or just wasn’t having fun. I was extremely exhausted though by the end of each night! New Orleans, Louisiana is definitely the place to be for Mardis Gras partiers!
