Here is a picture Victoria (my youngest daughter) took of me sitting next to the stone cross in Bienville Square.

You can see there are lots of people enjoying Mardi Gras in the historic downtown park.

Fat Tuesday is the last day of the two week plus celebration Mobile has been celebrating since before New Orleans ever thought about doing it.

I guess Mardi Gras was Mobile's gift to New Orleans many years ago.

New Orleans is famous for getting Mardi Gras known internationally.

Their population has always been greater than Mobile.

I understand that New Orleans is rebuilding as quickly as they can.

If you did not know any better... you would not believe that San Francisco had to start over and rebuild after that catastophic earthquake they had over a hundred years ago too.

Well... happy Mardi Gras and I will see you next time.

I am and will always be... Frank
