Mardi Gras is what Americans refer to as our carnival. It is not celebrated in all of the US but especially in Louisiana it is a big thing. Texans like to party too so in most cities there will be Mardi Gras parades.
With Gerda in town we decided to go to San Antonio for the night and see what it was all about. As San Antonio has a river going through it, the parade was on the water with boats.
We walked along the river walk and stopped at the open air theatre to listen to the band. When the boats came by the girls had to battle with hundreds of others to catch the traditional beads that are thrown. The pickings were thin...
As the boats would be going around twice we decided to walk a it a try and find a more strategic place for catching beads.
We succeeded!!!
After all this excitement the girls wanted to relax for a bit in the hot tub, however they could not resist the urge to get into the big (very cold) pool! Bikkels!!!!
