Mardi Gras: Carrollton and King Arthur

Where am I this time?

Hum... just saying you are in Australia doesn't make it so.

But it looks like a bizarre religious cult...
Heck, you see that sort of stuff on St. Charles Avenue!

The guys lined up for two Parades, Krewe of Carrollton and King Arthur on an almost not cold Sunday morning. We had all sorts of snacks, drinks and even our own porta-potty.

My friend Johnny made a special hat for the occasion.


Folks asked to take his picture all the time.


Here is a bit of tradition... a horseman... most parades have masked riders on horseback, after my precious, no doubt!


The return of the king


Strike up the band(s) Lots of them


Lots of floats... some with reference to the Superbowl... which was later that day.




After a bit of delay... Parade #2, King Arthur
More bands, more floats


We all had a great time...


I managed to get a jesters cap from Carrollton and a plush crown from the King Arthur himself!
