Mardi Gras hype...

We arrived safe and sound to our vacation destination and found that the merriment of Mardi Gras has already begun. Until we experienced the madness down here in the Land of Mardi Gras, we had no idea what all the fuss was about. (Christmas City of the North parades and Fourth of July parades are in our frames of reference living in the Northland.) Here's a link (HERE) about the first parade of the season as reported in The Mobile Register to give you an idea of what's to come. Parades, krewes, mud pies, Mardi Gras beads and more... from now until it all ends on Fat Tuesday! A fun column in the Register, written by someone who goes by "The Masked Observer," adds to the hype. Only in the Land of Mardi Gras....

Stay tuned...
