From Texas we headed to Louisiana.
Our timing was great, as we got to see one of the first Mardi Gras parades - The Druids.
We did a self guided walking tour of the French Quarter. Many of the houses along our route were decorated for Mardi Gras.
The official colours of the Mardi Gras are purple, green and gold. Apparently, purple represents justice; green, faith; and gold, power.
Cornstalk Hotel, the cast iron fence is decorated with corn. It was built in 1816.
A bead tree of New Orleans.
Beads anyone?
Sean outside the Hustler Club on Bourbon St, New Orleans, it is probably best that the pics in the windows are out of focus!
Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop (Pub), built before 1772.
Inside Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop
Enjoying the local beverages and beads at the parade.
After the parade we headed to Yo Mama's Bar and Grill to sample the peanut butter and bacon burger, which was AMAZING! We also spent a bit of time at the Chart Room on Chartres St, which had a great vibe and cheap beers.
