Mardi Gras

How do you celebrate Fat Tuesday in St. Augustine? With gusto, a little like this sporty conquistador on a mural in the Old Town:


First, you have lunch at a place that specializes in New Orleans grub. In this case, shrimp and grits, with a Hurricane, just for fun. Wear the Mardi Gras beads they give you all afternoon.



Then you explore a historic home or two and stroll through some shops. Check out some art:

 


















Stop by the Cathedral for a few contemplative minutes.




















Go to the supermarket and buy a king cake. Eat a piece and hope you get the plastic baby hidden inside so you're the king or queen of the evening and will have good luck throughout the year.
