Happy Mardi Gras 2010

By TERRY R. CASSREINO

NEW ORLEANS (Sunday, Feb. 14, 2010) -- I'm still exhausted.

After a full day of activities with the Krewe of Endymion on Saturday -- including the parade that night and the Endymion Extravaganza following in the Superdome -- Pam and I didn't get home until 2:30 a.m.

This year's event was spectacular. The crowds were simply amazing, literally wall-to-wall all along the parade route that took the procession through Mid-City and into downtown New Orleans.

In my six years of riding in Endymion, I have never seem the crowds that large.

While I don't have a nice representation of photos showing the floats, I am posting a slideshow giving you an idea of the enormity of the crowds. And they were huge. I hope you enjoy this -- and have a great Mardi Gras in 2010.
