Although I have never been to New Orleans, it is on my list of places to visit. However, I doubt I would ever consider visiting during Mardi Gras, because it would be too wild and crazy for me.
I don't know much about Mardi Gras except that they eat gumbo and jambalaya, King bread and Po' Boy sandwiches. I also know that the predominant colors are purple, gold, and green. and they wear costumes and have parades!
I did a little research on the history and origins of Mardi Gras.
