Today was the 1st weekend of Mardi Gras in Galveston. There are 3 parades during the 1st weekend. The Krewe of Aquarius at 12p, the firetruck parade at 3p and the Krewe of Gambrinus at 6p. They are all on the seawall. Jennifer and I went to the one at 12p. My apartment complex had a tent on the parade route and was serving the residents free barbecue chicken and ribs. So Jennifer and I had some. They were very good. I aslo had a pice of king cake. This year during the parades I was not really big on getting beads this year. This is my 5th Mardi Gras. I caught a few beads that came right at me but made no effort to go for any of the beads. Jennifer did as I did and just enjoyed the floats.
We did not see the one at 3p since is was raining during this time. So we walked to Salsas for dinner and margaritas. Ron joined us at Salsas. We then went to see the 6p parade. This krewe's floats are really big. Bigger than the 1st parades floats.
Then back to my place to hang out and talk.
