Today is Mardi Gras day in New Orleans, the culmination of many weeks of parades and parties. My own family had a great Mardi Gras season this year, with lots of friends and family getting together to enjoy the festivities.
If you are not in New Orleans today, then I hope that you have a chance to come here at some point in the future. This city throws a great party during Mardi Gras season. And of course, New Orleans is a great place to visit year-round if you like food, drinks, music, history or architecture. Jazz Fest is just around the corner (starting April 28), and the music, food and art at Jazz Fest provides another great reason to visit New Orleans.
Whether you are in New Orleans today in person or just in spirit, have a Happy Mardi Gras!
