This was an interesting read. Mardi Gras sounds different in your part of the world. Here, it is more promotion of deviant society ie, Gays, lesbians and transexuals etc.

The Mardi Gras is a French thing. There is one parade that seems to have more gays and lesbians. I see you reposted some stuff. I've been out of town and gotten behind. I will review them as soon as I can.

I see you quickly learned about pick pocket and how fast they get gone. Normally black teenagers. Glad Don was at the car. I can understand your fright. They don't call it Sin Soaked City of the world for nothing. LOL.
Good one Beth.

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This is a very interesting and informative chapter about parades. I would have cried, too, if I lost a child in a mob. It is good that Don had an opportunity to study Karate.

Comment from lancellot
This is very interesting. I like the form and purpose. It is not a memoir but more of a written time capsule but with a personal and educational touch, so that your children can fully understand what took place and how it was meaningful.
Very nicely done.
