RV Trip to New Orleans-Mardi Gras 2013

Monday, February 11, 2013
Left at 9:00 for our exclusivetour of the Krewe of Thoth's Den. This den is where they store the floats that just paraded the previous nights. It hasn't been cleaned and  theyre all full of left over beads and what have you. We were able to look, climb and touch what's in the floats. We found all kinds of good beads, hats, stuffed animals, unopened drinks and chips. We were able to salvage all kinds of beads,goodies and even costumes if you want them. I was able to salvage a Royal Crown Scotch still on it's bag barely opened. it was like scavenger hunting and so much fun. There were beads that are still on bags unopened. All the Rver's went crazy. we went home with 3 bags of goodies.

























After the Krewe of Thoth's tour we went to a private tour on to the New Orleans School of Cooking for an entertaining demonstration and light lunch of chicken and andonette gumbo,jambalaya,bread pudding and pralines. Iced tea and local beer were served with the meal. She was a funny lady and made the cooking very interesting. Bought her cook book signed by her. Back to the camp at 2:00 pm.
At 7:00 pm we were served with cajun food and cajun music at the arena. Cajun dancers taught us how to dance cajun dancing.
