Our house is full of glittery costume debris and it won’t be clean for another week. This is how we do it. The cats have glitter on them they sleep in the piles of paper, cardboard, wigs, fabric. They love this time of year almost as much as we do.

What exactly Anba Dlo is you will have to click on through to the official festival website for the explanation.
From the website:

The light pours in the front of the house in the morning. The sun greets you as you step out. Monkey (the cat) lazily rests by one of the side windows overlooking the lot next to us. It’s quiet. Traffic is sparse the road dead ends at the church. The train whistle blows. This is the experience In the morning.

Dawn was at a wedding so i ventured out into the bunchy this year on my own. On my way out the door I spied a familiar face across the street. It was my friend Dre from NYC.
He had no idea i was living in New Orleans, i had no idea he was here to visit the city. So i took him under my bunny wing and threw a pair of ears on him and told him to follow me.

Davis Park. We stroll through the French quarter green beer, green hats and beads adorn the people in the quarter. Its almost St Patricks day so people are getting ready.
