Mardi Gras in New Orleans. "Mister, throw me some beads."
Bonnie returned to New Orleans with her daughter Rhonda and Rhonda's friend Leslie . . . then off to the parades and the French Quarter.
The Friday afternoon crowd on Bourbon Street.
A stop at the Central Grocery on Decatur Street, a few blocks off Bourbon and Royal, the home of the muffuletta sandwich . . . our favorite. Then off to............
Aunt Sally's Pralines for Bonnie's dessert.
A must stop point in New Orleans is Pat O'Briens. Charlie ordered a Hurricaine for all to sample, then back to the streets.
On Canal Street the floats in the parades are ornate and of great design and the crowds are yelling . . .
......Mister, throw me some beads......
More and more floats and, yes, more and more beads.
Bourbon Street in the French Quarter . . . at night; and more beads.
Rhonda and Bonnie . . . "Mister, throw me some beads."
Saturday was walk the French Quarter, Jackson Square, the French Market and then stop for dinner before the evening parades. Our stop was at STELLA! (see:www.restaurantstella.com) where Bonnie had "Fish & Chips", which she reports takes the words to a new level, and Rhonda had Duck Fiveways. Leslie enjoyed the Walu and Charlie the Scallops. We all then shared a Bananas Foster for dessert.
