I told my mom that I wanted to travel to Italy for Mardi Gras. She looked at me like I had grown two heads and said, "No, you don't. And you won't because I won't ever let you." :-)Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17806742166270425783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3449042079826318383.post-43141842176166696692010-02-18T04:46:16.444+01:002010-02-18T04:46:16.444+01:00I don't like costumes.

All I can think of is like court jesters with weird colored spandex (I think that's because when I think of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, I think of those masks of comedy and tragedy and then the players from Rosencrantz and Guildenestern. Don't ask, even I don't understand the inner workings of my own brain). Did you get any pictures of the celebration or parade?Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06125799298428801546noreply@blogger.com
