My Mardi Gras experience




A few days after I arrived to New Orleans, I went to the first parade of the Mardi Gras season. The Phorty Phunny Phellows parade in the Street car station, since then I had gone to a few parades more. My two favorites were The Krewe of Barkus and Krewe du Vieux. On the Mardi Gras Day, I went to see the Krewe of Zulu early in the morning. I ate King Cake for breakfast, and I was very lucky because I had two coconuts during the parade and none of them hit me in the head. I had a great time in all the parades, and I was quite impressed of the obsession of the people with the beads. I remember a really tall guy who was standing right next to me in the Zulu parade, when one of the floats passed in front of us; he tried to grab the throws from inside of the float, and the raider got mad and yelled at him. I saw a lot of crazy things during Mardi Gras season, but I think it was definitely fun and interesting.

  1. I was wondering that a guy standing next to us tried to get a lot of coconuts. What did he want them for?
