Grace - Nighttime in New Orleans

During the day, New Orleans is special and unique.  But at night time, New Orleans comes alive.  At night time the crazy parties, the drunken New Orleanians, and the loud music comes to life.  Nighttime in New Orleans is a special time because the city lights up and becomes crazy and fun.  During Mardi Gras, the parades during the day are fun, but don’t even compare to the night time craziness.  New Orleans is so alive, and that is what I love most about it.  My favorite thing to do is have fun, and New Orleans is the most fun place in the world, especially at night time.  At night time, the French quarter lights up and the people are happy, and the music is so fun and interesting to listen to.  Night time in New Orleans is more special than night time in any other place.  I love New Orleans at night because it has a special and unique way of making me happy.
