In early March 2003, Kat and I went to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. It was my first time in New Orleans, and the first Mardi Gras for both of us. I also got to meet Kat's brother Ben, who lives there. We had a wonderful time, and of course took a bunch of pictures. :-)

The afternoon of Mardi Gras, we wandered through the French Quarter to see what we could see. This is a historical plaque commemorating a building built for the father of Marie Laveaux.

One guy was draped in a Canadian flag.
