We thought that Mobile would be crowded on Fat Tuesday so we went to the celebrations in Biloxi, Mississippi. It has a similar atmosphere to Mobile but the floats aren’t as elaborate. Still lots of beads!
Biloxi’s main street, which is US 90, has not recovered from Hurricane Katrina. Before the hurricane the street was lined with beautiful homes, dating from the early 1800s. They were all washed away or damaged beyond repair by the tidal surge. Now the empty lots provide plenty of parking. We arrived a couple of hours early and had no trouble finding a parking spot. The sidewalks are in good condition and half of US 90 is closed for the parade so wheeling along is easy. On the road( US 90 )is a great to watch the parade. Mardi Gras
