It all started here

With its inexplicable rules

and improvised confessionals

A shout out to the bar we visited several times during Mardi Gras because they have a “taco truck” serving late night food in the back

It’s a uniquely NOLA experience to wade through the massive dancing throng in a reggae bar and order yourself a quesadilla and a beer to go.

Another uniquely NOLA experience? Pralines

Don’t get them packaged in plastic. Order them sweet, crunchy, warm and fresh from a counter. So delicious it makes your teeth hurt!

I chased down this King Cake, because Mardi Gras requires King Cake

Even though this one had no baby. Gypped!

A salute to road beer silos

And the boys who joined me

Ryan

Corey

Matt

And to an amazing trip.

Au revoir, N’awlins! We’ll be back, don’t you worry. And until then

Peace out.
