The Craziness of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras is right around the corner! When Mardi Gras comes to mind,  most people envision New Orleans on Bourbon Street. They consider Mardi Gras to be a crazy time with drinking, nudity, floats, and beads. It definitely is all of those things but you can also have a laid back time as well. Being from Louisiana it is an exciting time to go home and have fun with friends and family. The purpose of Mardi Gras is to celebrate on Fat Tuesday before the fasting of lint begins on Ash Wednesday. However the majority of people that will be making the journey to Mardi Gras are just going for the experience that is famous around the world.
