New Orleans February 1999

In February 1999 I undertook one of my most exciting and amazing trips. After having made the aquaintance with a student at Tulane I was invited for Mardi Gras. Thinking it was too expensive I declined but parental support can go a far way, so finally I journeyed from Glasgow, Scotland to New Orleans via NY.
The week that followed was the craziest and emotionally most  rewarding holiday I have ever had. I met some amazing people, expecially Greg, Matt, Sean and Tim, as seen below with moi.
I was high on the experience for 4 days, sleeping less than 5 hours each night and falling in love with everyone and everything.
I even cried on departing - was probably due more to the lack of sleep (hadn't slept for 38 hours at that point!) but also because I have never felt as comfortable with any group of people  - spontaneously we got along so well.
Still miss them very much but am trying to stay in touch.
