Parades, beads, parades, beads.. Parades been going on everyday.  A lot of them ended on the street by our hotel.  And every night, the city does a great job cleaning the streets.  We later found out that Mardi Gras is a lot deeper than partying on Bourbon St and collecting beads.  At the Louisiana State Museum, they have a very comprehensive exhibit on history of Mardi Gras and krewes.  On Fat Tuesday, I headed to the Boubon Street awards to see the people in awesome, some outrageous costumes.  I also saw the Rex parade which is the oldest krewes that’s been around since 1872.
