Anonymous - Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is something one must experience for them selves. It cannot be described in words but only through occurrences of the fabulous time of the year. For New Orleans, it is everything. All of the city’s spirit is combined into one huge, great feeling of ferment. Nothing gets better than the Mardi Gras season in New Orleans.
