I have participated in different celebrations both in Venezuela and Colombia, all accustomed to the shared culture we have and the Catholic religion we share, however, there is a celebration totally distant from my society that I must go to live if or if someday because it is one of the celebrations that I like the most and that I will not miss the opportunity to witness live and direct when I have the opportunity to do so.

He participado en diferentes festejos tanto de Venezuela como Colombia, todos habituados a la cultura compartida que tenemos y en la religión católica que compartimos, no obstante, hay una celebración totalmente distanciada de mi sociedad que debo ir a vivir si o si algún día ya que es una de las celebraciones que mas me gustan y que ni loca perderé la oportunidad de presenciar en vivo y en directo cuando tenga la oportunidad de hacerlo.

Mardi Gras is the name of the carnival that is celebrated in New Orleans, Mobile, in Mississippi, in Quebec, etc. Its name is a French expression, which translates directly into English as "Fat Tuesday", but it is traditionally called "Shrove Tuesday". Two weeks before Shrove Tuesday, a daily parade can be observed. The most colorful and elaborate parades and celebrations take place on the last five days of the season. In the last week of Mardi Gras, many activities take place throughout New Orleans and surrounding communities. Although many tourists visit Bourbon Street and other sections of the French Quarter during Mardi Gras, the larger parades don't pass through because the streets are too narrow for floats.

Mardi Gras es el nombre del carnaval que se celebra en Nueva Orleans, Mobile, en Misisipi, en Québec, etc. Su nombre es una expresión francesa, que se traduce directamente al español como «martes lardero, graso o fofo», pero se denomina tradicionalmente como "Martes de Carnaval". Dos semanas antes del Martes de Carnaval, se puede observar un desfile diario. Los desfiles y las celebraciones de mayor colorido y elaboración tienen lugar los últimos cinco días de la temporada. En la última semana del carnaval, se suceden muchas actividades a través de Nueva Orleans y las comunidades vecinas. Aunque muchos turistas visitan la calle Bourbon y otras secciones del barrio Francés durante Mardi Gras, los desfiles más grandes no pasan por ahí debido a que las calles son demasiado estrechas para las carrozas.

Personally, I want to experience this "eternal carnival" first hand and know what it's like to feel that everywhere you look you will find people in costumes and amazing masks and costumes that make you feel like you are in another world. I hope my dream comes true one day and I can walk the streets of New Orleans in costume among so many people, preferably with my friends. I want to invite @soyunasantacruz to participate and relax, I just found out about this contest today, good luck.

Yo en lo personal, quiero vivir ese “carnaval eterno” en carne propia y saber que es sentir que por donde quiera que mires encontraras gente disfrazada, trajes y máscaras alucinantes que te hacen sentir en otro mundo. Yo espero que mi sueño se haga realidad un día y pueda recorrer las calles de Nueva Orleans disfrazada entre tantas personas, junto a mis amigos preferiblemente. Quiero invitar a @soyunasantacruz a que participe y tranquila linda, yo me entere de este concurso hoy, mucha suerte.

Now you're talking party of parties, Mardi Gras! If only I could get an invitation Author Anne Rice's New Orleans home so I could get an autographed copy of her novel, "Interview with a Vampire."

Nice choice @kathy03 🎊🎉

Hello @kathy03. Wow, you selected an all out party to attend. This is perhaps the most famous of parades and tourist events in the U.S. each year.

For the images that you used to portray the event, does the site you source offer free photos for your to place in your blog?

Thanks for sharing.
