Journal Week #6

     I have been waiting for Mardi Gras all year because it is always fun. This year was my first time to go to New Orleans. I went on Sunday, today, and met some of my friends there and we went to the parade Thoth. It was a cool parade and there were a lot of good floats. On every float the people riding it wore masks and elaborate costumes, which made each float interesting because they were all different but still similar. My favorite group that was in the parade was this group of men who wore eighty's work out clothes and all danced down the street while throwing dabloons and other items like that; they were funny to watch and they also interacted with the crowd too. I had fun because two of the french exchange students were with us and it was their first Mardi Gras ever, so it was fun seeing their reaction to it all. They did not know that Mardi Gras was such a big deal here in Louisiana. It was a long, but great day.
