I am closed at for the Mardi Gras holiday. But, I wanted to post some pictures from Endymion 2009 which rolled last night through the streets of Mid City New Orleans. It was a huge crowd of thousands upon thousands of people. Every year our Mardi Gras celebrations are getting bigger & bigger Post Katrina. Come on down and celebrate this wonderful season with us, if you haven’t done so already! I will be masquing in the French Quarter for Mardi Gras and I will post some great photographs of costumes shortly thereafter…so check back with me!
