Paul, Will and I at the Rex parade! Will was ready for the day… wearing his t-shirt direct from the commedie’france in Paris, France, sent by beloved Aunt Stephanie Lake. We sat at the corner of Napoleon and famous St. Charles Avenue for the morning. We left a little before 8 this morning, thinking we were getting out to see both the Zulu and Rex parades… but had made a mistake in our understanding of the Zulu parade route… we’d have had to walk another 10 blocks and decided to stay put and stake out the premium spot for Rex. (Zulu started at 8, Rex at 10.) We watched Rex and had a blast! Immediately following Rex are tractor trailers with families who have their own (pretty impressive) floats… almost 200 of them!! Will was pretty exhausted from the morning, so we left after only about 20 of those (around 1pm). Truth be told, Paul and I were as exhausted as Will… it’s tough to party all week!
