Pros: Tourists are Scarce, Attractions are Unique, the People are Friendly Cons: None at all

(NOTE: THIS IS ABOUT SOUTH LOUISIANA MARDI GRAS AND NOT LOUISIANA AS A WHOLE!)
Y'all come on down! You haven't experienced a "real" Mardi Gras until you experience a South Louisiana Mardi Gras. If you plan a trip, try to plan to...
