This past February my sister and I as well as three others drove from Orlando to New Orleans to attend, Mardi Gras. I was determined to attend Mardi Gras ever since I saw an animated 1920s Mardi Gras from a movie that released a few months back. The trip down there was less than glamorous. Riding in a Mustang with five other people just wasn't the best idea. Well the 641 mile trip could have been worse. But upon arriving to New Orleans I realized that this wasn't like the movie at all! It was so 2010! Where were the bands in colorfully costumes parading up and down Canal street? Where were the "cute" bottlecap tap dancing boys? And where were the diners that were worth eating at? It had completely slipped my mind that New Orleans had be Atlantis for awhile. What? Too soon!? It seemed like my fantasy was replace buy the trash covered streets and the numerous "gentlemen" clubs?
My sister and I went down Bourbon St and I got a lot of beads tossed at me and thrown at me! I'm too pretty to flash! Though I was expecting a whimsical city I got reality. It was a great experience. And I'll definitely go again since I know what to expect now.
