I know there is more to Louisiana than New Orleans - think bayous, and voodoo, and Cajuns, and a rich and colorful history, and the detective Dave Robicheaux in James Lee Burke's detective novels - but I only have postcards from New Orleans.
This one, from my brother Lar, cracks me up. The picture is great, but I particularly like the message: "....been here since Sunday night. we got enough stamina for one last night...." That seems to pretty well sum up the Mardi Gras experience.
