Mardi Gras Moments: Mardi Gras Morning

Staffers Krista Rossow and Susanne Hackett are in New Orleans with writer Andrew Nelson this week. Below they check in with us bright and early on Mardi Gras morning.

It’s Mardi Gras in New Orleans this morning and the city is awaking to clear skies and King Cake, the iconic, high-sugar carb cake that fuels the merriment of sinners and saints. Especially the Saints, whose Drew Brees ruled as king of Bacchus on Sunday before massive crowds. Stay posted for more images of Mardi Gras day in New Orleans and follow the merriment on WWOZ FM on the web.
