Summer 2011 my boyfriend and I did a road trip around the South, traveling from Austin, TX to Atlanta, GA stopping in 7 cities in 7 states along the way. It was one of the most unique trips I've ever been on and was amazing to experience a part of the country that, perhaps more than any other, can be said to truly have it's own culture. But this applies to New Orleans more than any other city in the region. I'm in the midst of editing photos from the trip, and more will be posted soon, but here is a set from a Second Line featuring members of the Mardi Gras Indian tribes. We were unbelievably lucky to catch this, as we were on our way out of the city and only just noticed it was going on at all. Experiencing this, which is a tradition unique to New Orleans, was the cherry on top of a fantastic few days in the Big Easy!
