Hi Pam,
I would love to be in NOLA again. I've been there twice and even got a
rare tour of Ann Rice's home in 1999 before TM hit me. I would love to
participate in Mardi Gras; my brother works on Carnival Cruise ships
that come into NO and also loves the town and has lots of friends
there. He loves the food and has a blog with recipes of cajun food.
Here's the link. Check it out! It's informative as well as hilarious.

How I wish I were there to eat the pralines! The alligator and
crawfish you can keep.
PRISCILLA :)

Subject: [TMIC] MARDI GRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN.THE PARADES AND FESTIVITIES
HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 WEEKS NOW.
FROM NOW TO TUESDAY WHICH WE CALL FAT TUESDAY IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH
FUN BUT HECTIC. RELATIVES , FRIENDS COMING IN FOR THE PARADES.
I ONLY WENT TO ONE PARADE, IT WAS GREAT. TONIGHT A BIG ONE PASSES A
BLOCK FROM MY HOME, BUT IT WILL BE IN THE 30/S SO DAN AND I WILL STAY
HOME OUR COMPANY WILL GO.
EVERYONE HAS TO SEE ONE MARDI GRA IN THEIR LIFETIME .I WILL BE BUSY
ENTERTAINING, SOME OF OUR FRIENDS HAVE STEAKED OUT THEIR SPOTS IN MID
CITY WHERE ENDIMIUM PASSES. THEY HAVE TENTS, PLATFORMS TH
EIR OWN
TOILETS ENCLOSED, ITS A REAL BIG THING HERE. I HAVE NOT HAD TO DO THAT
SINCE ALL THE PARADES PASSED A FEW HOUSES FROM WHERE I LIVE.
THEIR ARE PARADES ALL OVER LA. MS AND AL.
THE TOURISTS HAVE ALREDY ARRIVED AND ARE IN THEIR HOTELS..WE HAVE A
CREW FOR DOGS THAT IS JUST TOO CUTE.THAT IS IN THE FRENCH QUEARTER AREA.
ITS SAFE TO COME HER YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO GO AND WHERE NOT
TOO. THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS AND OF COURSE BOURBON STREET AND OUR FAMOUS
KING CAKES. I WISH I COULD SEND YOU ALL ONE, THEY HAVE THE PLAIN ONES,
ONES FILLED WITH CREAM CHEESE, CARAMEL JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT.
THEY COME IN ALL DIFFERENT SIZES.IT WOULD COST ME TO MUCH MONEY.THEN
YOU HAVE TO GO TO GET BEIGNETS AND COFFE A TRADITION GO TO JACKSON
SQUARE. THE AQUARIUM AND THE ZOO AND THE MUSEUMS , THE ANTIQUE SHOPS
AND ALL THE GREAT CAFES AND OF COURSE PAT O BRIENS.
JUST SO MUCH TO DO HERE AND ITS REALLY NICE TO TAKE A BUGGY RIDE ALL
AROUND THE CITY.
IF I DO NOT ANSWER MY E-MAILS LIKE I USUALLY DO ITS BECAUSE OF THIS BIG
FIVE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS TIAD PAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
