Saints Parade, New Orleans

The Saints had a parade in downtown New Orleans.



And so Johnny and John and Robert convinced me to go (that wasn't hard!)


The crowds were huge... traffic was a mess getting there.


First off there were police, EMS, sheriffs, and police motorcycles.

Then came the firefighters, including our friend Duaine!
They weren't really marching, sort of coming down the street celebrating!


There were many floats with football players, cheer leaders or coaching staff on them.


The major krewes lent floats from their parades... this one is from the women's krewe "Muses"


Nifty thing... it changes colors!


I mostly spent the time catching beads... until the end.


This is an entire train of a float... filled with staff, all throwing beads.


Congratulations New Orleans Saints...


There was a remarkable amount of love in the parade... everyone was joyful... it was wonderful.
