Well the Mean Green and crew are about 135 miles away from Mardi Gras but we can feel the excitement from here! Even though Mardi Gras doesn't start for another week, it seems this year things have started a week early! CONGRATS SAINTS and the city of NEW ORLEANS!!! We'll be seeing you in 7 days and we know you'll still be going strong with the celebrations!!!
I just picture me padding down the Mississippi and beads being thrown at me all week!
We have a long week ahead, but now we know that we have a HUGE celebration to look forward to when we paddle into New Orleans Feb 14th!!! Well bigger than we were expecting!
