10 A.M on the first day of spring break, after waking up in Danny’s living room, somewhat recovering from the fatigue of driving more than ten hours, all the way from Columbia to New Orleans last night, we headed to French quarter, one of the most notorious place across the country for alcohol while it’s also where the Mardi Gra parades ends.
Anita, who went to the same senior high school with me in the same time while we didn’t know each other through until he Internet the high school basketball finals last week, will not only for the first time meet me in person but also kindly be our guide today!
So the main activity of Mardi Gras, one of the best-known carnival across the country and meanwhile the main reason we drove all the way to New Orleans, is the non-stop parades.
It’s simply hard to describe the parade by words that I shall give all the credits to modern technology:
The above scenario can only be seen during Mardi Gras season but French quarter is always the first place to visit in New Orleans:
The goods in French market didn't really interested me but the famous donut and coffee next door are definitely the best friends in a rainy chilly afternoon.
In addition to the exotic architectures and atmosphere in this district, French quarter is also where American Jazz culture was given birth and further fertilized.
Of course New Orleans is also famous for fried chicken, but when speaking of Bourbon street, people think of it as one of the most notorious destinations for alcohol, bars and sex for a reason.
That is undoubtedly true: people do get crazy under this circumstances, leaving their rationality behind, chasing what’s only valuable here.
French quarter, definitely the dream paradise for party people!

3/5
10點準時出門
遊行就是無限鑼鼓喧天+瘋狂拋贈品，
快結束時開始下超級大雨，French market沒什麼特別有趣的，倒是旁邊的咖啡&甜甜圈在稍冷又全身濕透的天氣實在是太治癒了!!
繼續逛逛French Quarter，已經開始看到一些 (.)(.)了.....為了那幾顆珠子...?
真難理解 吃了個炸雞以後再次去走波本街，這次連秀XX的都出來了!! 只能說紐奧良波本街........厲害@@
回家看三個傻瓜，但載歌載舞的印度片實在是太長了，於是方桌大戰開始......
好累了不過剛好來打個網誌，打到一半就睡著了@@

睡到中午，出門午餐subway一樣的沒有存在感，錯過遊行只好看人秀咪咪，連續兩天French Quarter實在太累人...
遊行雖然沒這麼新鮮不過這次附近的人很好，撿到一整包都會分享的，而且坐在郵筒上感覺不錯，
混到半夜兩點回家...三點睡覺
