But it seems to me everywhere in the USA that's there French heritage. Saint Louis also has a Mardi Gras festival:

I love Mardi Gras. Sadly now that I live in Eastern Oregon, it's not much fun! They just don't celebrate it out here. I still have all my fancy dresses that we wore to the balls in South Miss.--just hanging in the closet. Out here it's more Wranglers (I don't have any of those!) I'd love a piece of King Cake. Bad JuJu, please don't change your avatar!

Mardi Gras day, and I wake up with another friggin migraine...
So once again I didn't make it to the Grand Finale. Grumble grumble grumble.
Parades last night were great tho. And I stayed hydrated. My head hates me.
Today when I finally crawled out of bed for the second time, I tried out the Yoga DVD I bought from Terry - yoga for cyclists. Could actually feel blood flowing in my brain. Very odd. Yoga is cheaper than a neurologist...
I feel a bit better, maybe run an errand or two, but will avoid the crowds in the Quarter.
Tomorrow is back to work
