Happy Carnival! I've been to New Orleans twice but never during the big celebration. We were there for St. Patricks day last year. We were so excited for the big parade. We waited outside the church (the famous one in the French Quarter)for it to begin. At noon some gents in tuxedo's and ladies in fancy dress came out and walked down the street. They waved, through cabbages and potatoes and gave an occasional kiss to a spectator. It was interesting to say the least. I must admit we chuckled, having never seen anything like it.
I'm mom to The May Queen, wife to The Big Guy, an actress and left-leaning Christian. I write about my life as a thespian mommy at Painted Maypole, show pictures from my project365 at View from the Maypole, and occasionally I review stuff at Painted Maypole Reviews.
