Carnival season has begun and the parades are rolling out. It is always a lot of fun, but just a few tips: You will be walking, and standing for a long time. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes.
With the big crowds, the bathrooms are not always equipped with toilet paper. Make sure that you bring either a roll of TP or some wipes.
A back pack is great to carry. Not only is it excellent for transporting your personal items, you can use it to store beads and treasures from the floats. Best of all your hands are free to catch. If not a back pack, bring a large bag.
Take some cash with you. This will be convenient at bars or food stands where there will be long waits.
Most important …..Enjoy, Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!
