I've visited New Orleans three times in my adult life, but never during Mardi Gras, although I had my share of hot toddy's and various other forms of alcohol while visiting, so no judgement! I thought it would be fitting (and slightly ironic) to write about this magnificent city on the actual day of the celebration, although my advice is to visit at any other time of year. The city has SO much to offer…including some of the best cuisine, music, architecture and history in our country. Mr. Fleurishing and I hope to take a trip down there at some point, and I will be able to take in the city with him, through a new lens…literally and metaphorically.
It’s on my must-see US travel list. I would love to go during Mardi Gras and in the off season…to experience the excitement of both!
Good idea Kayla…you can go and then let me know! I have been told it’s fun to do once, but it’s just not my cup of tea. However the city is amazing, and I can’t wait to get back down there.
I have been really dreaming of New Orleans lately, I would LOVE to cruise down for a few days after our wedding as a little mini-honeymoon, but I think that might not be possible. Even though I have never been, I think I will fall in love with the city.
