HAPPY MARDI GRAS (FAT TUESDAY) and RUBY TUESDAY (Red Tuesday)!
These pictures are from the Mobile Alabama Mardi Gras celebration in 2005. In the Pacific Northwest, we had Lent but we never got to celebrate for weeks leading up to it! We loved the parades. It really is a wonderful community-wide party and more family-friendly than the better-known one in New Orleans. Mobile says that they celebrated it first and New Orleans stole the idea.

Very colorful!

It looks like a lot of fun but too many people for this recluse.
I hope to visit several more of the Gold Rush town before we start to take off in our Roadtrek. Perhaps you will be inspired to wander down highway 49 someday.

This certainly looks like fun!
I've never been to Mardi Gras and always thought how much fun it might be.
At my age the family friendly one here is probably more my speed. :)
