I just like this picture of Bri, Colin, and I walking through the Lower Ninth Ward. Bri's buddy Colin flew in from NY for Mardi Gras and my friend Amanda from Duluth flew down for the Gras.
Aftermath...
I thought Amanda caught a pretty sweet picture of this-in the French Quarter.
Amanda tried her grits 4 different ways....turns out salt and pepper is the best!
Mardi Gras Indian jammin....
If you saw Benjamin Button-the scene was filmed in the park 2 blocks from our house...
How did 3 superheroes get in our kitchen??
Yes, Colin did walk around like this. Come'on it's the Gras.
What's leftover of King CAke--a tradional bread/cake that you eat all for the month of Mardi Gras-kinda tastes like Cinnamin rolls.
Amanda's spicy shrimp remoulade
I was amazingly pumped elvis stopped to give me a scarf on the parade route.
Muses..the all woman's crew parade.
breakfast in the backyard.
Zulu-all African American parade.
Chinese breakfast we cooked.
Yes, Colin did put on ALL of our beads....and it took a long time to get them off and sort them again.
"GANGSTA's but what I call the Blues Brothers.
My friend is in the pink
Everyone brings their own ladders to stand on to catch beads.
I was a Super Gardner and Bri was just Super.
Chinese on bikes?
CAn you find the Minnesotan in the picture?
