Mardi Gras is next week and one of the hubs of that festive occasion is New Orleans. So, today, I will take you back to a visit some students, my sister, Chrys, and I made to New Orleans in search of masks for our masquerade end-of-year banquet a short time later.
It seems like yesterday, but each of our lives have taken multiple turns since then. But, for a moment, may we reflect on the muddy Mississippi river, the beignets, Jackson Square musicians, and all of what New Orleans in the spring looks like… ok, maybe not ALL aspects of New Orleans.
