A few months before Katrina we got to experience Canal and Burbon Streets.  Photos are from a special event parade lead by a New Orleans band.  With LOTS of beads to throw or keep and wear ourselves.   We wove our way through the downtown area to The House of Blues which was closed to the public for our event.
