Who wants to go to Mardi Gras?

Music is one of the most essentials things that keeps coming up as well food. It was a happier time before Katrina came dimished their sprits, but it surely didnt kill it. I love how he describes all the music and culture in the book. There is nothing is better than hearing music fills the streets and the aroma of food finding its way to you. "New Orleanians, poor, rich and in-between, white and black and in between, take their cooking and eating seriously," I love how lively the people are. They embrace their culture of food, dancing. They have such high spirits and just have no worries. It definitely makes me want to take a trip down there.
