My friend Sylvia brought me a Zulu coconut!!! For those not from New Orleans, Zulu is an all African American Mardi Gras Krewe that rides on Mardi Gras day and their signature throw is decorated coconuts that the Krewe members hand decorate themselves. They’re the most coveted of all Mardi Gras throws and I’ve always wanted one! This ones actually from 2008 but she said shes going to try to get me one this year too :) #zulu #coconut #mardigras #neworleans #nola #glitter #purple #green #gold

From where you live. Lake Ponchartrain and the 24 mile long Causeway Bridge that I drive every day to get to work. It was the worlds longest bridge over water until a few years ago when China built a longer one. #fmsphotoaday #day6 #lake #ponchartrain #causeway #bridge #nola #mandeville #louisiana #neworleans #water #sky #clouds #nature
