Rainy St. Patrick’s Day Parade

We had 2.5 inches of rain on Saturday…but no thunder, so the parade rolled!

Actually, there was one bit of thunder- the marcher’s Mass let out less than a minute after the hardest downfall of the day ended- when they opened the doors the cheer was so loud I heard it 5 blocks away.

BTW, just how Irish is this guy?

ALL the Irish. That’s how Irish.

Still, a good time had by all. The Mardi Gras Indians didn’t fare so well- their Super Sunday parade was to be this weekend, but they got rained out. That’s alright- gotta save something for next weekend, right?

  Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~
  

  I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

  The blog was started as a companion to my New Orleans-themed shop (now closed), and give visitors a glimpse into life here. I'm keeping the blog here, even though I haven't been as good at updating it as I ought to be.

  I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and gambol in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
