Mardi Gras 2013

      I went to several Mardi Gras parades this year. My favorite  parade was the Krewe Rex. Crowds were a little smaller than last year, perhaps influenced by the forecast of rain.
 
     I liked the family side of Mardi Gras unfolded along stately St. Charles Avenue, where some groups camped out overnight to stake out prime spots for parade viewing. A brief rain shower as the final float in the Krewe of Rex parade passed by didn't dampen the enthusiasm there. I hope to watch the mardi gras parades next year.
