                FINALLY!!! They have arrived.  There are still
                a few cameras unaccounted for, but rest assured
                I will recover them and post them very soon.  
                These pics are only of a 'G' nature though.  The
                ones most of you are probably interested in will be 
                posted on a different page soon enough.

This is the group of us that went to Mardi Gras together.
From left to right...Roger, myself, Ed, Paul and Scott.









This photo is of myself and Scott and two other guys.  
We took one look at them and realized that this is 
probably what we will look like in 20 or 30 years so 
we figured we should take this picture and deal with 
it now! LOL!









This is of myself and a lady from England named Rebecca.  
I loved her accent.  We talked forever...we all invited 
her to brunch with us on Sunday but she never showed 
up...:(  Oh well...it was great meeting her!









No matter where you went, there all sorts of people protesting
the decadence and witnessing to the existence of Jesus Christ.
If nothing else, they added some pageantry to the whole thing. 
I admired them for their persistence.  But I don't think too many 
people paid them much attention.  To each his own...









Here are three of us (Roger, Ed and myself) sitting in 
the backyard of the Bed & Breakfast we were staying at
in New Orleans.









This is just a picture of a house called The Melrose
that I found interesting.









Here are two pictures of how some of the people 
decorated their balconies...very interesting and entertaining
to say the least!












































































Here are some candid shots of Roger at a parade and 
back in the room getting ready for another wild night out.


















































































Here is another small group shot of Roger, Paul and Ed!
Wonder what was on their minds for that night?!?!?!









Here is a picture of the crowd.  I liked taking these pictures
just so you can get a feel for the atmosphere and amount of
people you have to deal with on these narrow streets.









Here is an example of what NO ONE should EVER
wear in public!!!!!!! LOL!  Not for the weak at heart...









Here are some more interesting costumes we saw on Mardi Gras...






























Here is a picture of the infamous Glitter Boyz and Ed...
We all wish the GlitterBoyz (Brian and Robby) a safe and
wonderful life in New Orleans.  They are moving down
there this week...so now we have a place to stay!!!!!!!









Here are some pictures of Paul and some guys he met...
I have no idea who they are though...I am not sure he does
either...LOL!
















Here are some pictures of me and some people I had the 
pleasure of meeting...:)
I think in this first one I just met a Hurricane drink and
I look pretty happy that I finally got my drink too...lol!























Here are some pictures of random people...I am not responsible
for taking all these pictures but I think it is obvious why 
these were taken...
















These two guys we followed for quite a while trying to get 
their picture.  But when they scaled the walls, we had to give up...
the picture might be worth something to the New Orleans Police
though if this isn't their house!















There is definitely a story to go with this one...but out of respect
for my best friend Scott, I will save it for some other time.  I will 
give him some time to live this one down...I love you Scott...you are
my best friend, but you deserved this one! LOL!!!!!!!!















There will be plenty more to come so check back soon!
