"There is a house in New Orleans..."
It's hard to believe that three years (and a couple of days) ago, I was sliding along eight miles of Mardi Gras' treacherously slick parade route. Broken beads, inches of slime, total madness, and the ever-constant pulse of a drum cadence, compelling me to press onward, signaling the beginning of another round of "Moondance" and "When the Saints go Marching In." Wow. It was an experience I'm glad to have, but very little would compel me to go back. It is only the lilting memory of Zydeco and Jazz, dancing at Michaul's, the Cafe du Monde, amazing Cajun food, and beautiful historical streets that sometimes tempts me to see the city when it's NOT knee deep in sludge. Maybe someday...

Don't go back! It's still icky, even in the "off-season"- sad day, would be such a lovely place if people didn't insist on being so *bad* But fond memories, nonetheless- that was an adventure (we should have more of those...)!
Awww...I could just hide out in the Garden District ::cheesy grin::
i love that song ("this is the house...") My dad used to sing that to me when i was little. (strange song to sing i know but hey! I think its one of the only songs he knows all the words to:))
