MARDI GRAS .. 08
We are finally back and rested from Mardi Gras .. What a time .. what a place ..
The people, the town .. where awesome .. words cannot describe how I feel ...
We started off Rocky .. not being able to get to our hotel via the shuttle .. we had to walk through the Parade .. toting our luggage .. me .. I got to drag beer cans and trash through the streets . What a site that was ... Jill was a trooper .. she walked the streets of NOLA with crutches .. every single night .. nothing stopped her !!
Dinner at NOLA was incredible ... the atmosphere .. so New Orleans ..
I had Po-Boy Sandwiches just about every night .. I visited the "Frat House" I tried on some really hot clothes at the Hustler shop ..
JoAnn was a great tour guide and so much fun... .. she knows this place !!
Kimmy and Tanya .. you have pics !! For your Eyes only .. here are a few I am sharing .. of our adventures ..

Me Dancing at Coyote Ugly .. A dream come true !
We had our appointments at Electric Lady Tatoo .. the same place Christina Ricci and Angelina Jolie recieved their body art .. OMG the artist that did me .. was incredible ..
Here is a pic of my Tat .. I love her .. he captured her entire being .. right down to her little hands and feet ...

Hey you... welcome back! It sounds like it was a great trip and the pictures are wonderful. I have never been to Mardi Gras, but seeing you dance on the bar has inspired me to plan a trip!
