Here are all of the Mardi Gras photos I have so far. There's also a set with pix from the cemetery St. Louis #1.

And when you have a chance, visit New Orleans. My friends there want you to know that the city is no longer under water. Go visit and spend money to help rebuild the city. And while you're there, support local artists like [livejournal.com profile] marrus.

I noticed that Mardi Gras was bigger this year than it was last year, so more people are going back to visit. When will you? It's up to all of us to help The Big Easy make a comeback.

Great photos!

We were there before the kids were born and I hope to get back.

Glad you had fun :o)

May 3-10, 2008. And possibly Mardi Gras next year.

The last time I was in New Orleans was about 2 weeks before Katrina. I was living in Lafayette at the time.

It's good to know NO is coming back. These are great photos.

The climate disagrees with me ferociously and I am not a good traveller these days, but I've done what I can to send money anyways; I enjoy many things which come from NO and some of them can be bought on the Web, for instance. I also tried to sponsor someone to go work for Habitat for Humanity building houses down there, but she wouldn't take money, so I bought her dinner afterwards.

And I'm glad to hear the city is continuing to heal.

The weather is nice there, for me, in November-January even though I can't deal with the heat the rest of the year. I was there in early November last year and it was a blast!

That's a perfectly acceptable way to spend time in NOLA ;)

You're welcome. Let me know if you want me to take down any of the pix on flickr, btw.
