Mardi Gras is floating with celebrities on beads via New Orleans on Saturday, where the city celebrated the Super Bowl party, which ranks eleventh with a brave wish after New Year's Day attack.
The reminders of the attack were present everywhere about “Big Easy” this week, as tourists stopped to stop taking a memorial on Bourbon Street to killing 14 and the presence of law enforcement of amazing dimensions.
But the city, known for its good joy, kept the concerts circulating at the first type Super Bowl show before Sunday's confrontations between Kansas City Chief ruling and Viladelphia Eagles.
“I love to see people smile and enjoy a fun time and tell us that he is hey, New Orleans is still at work.” We are still at work, my love. “
Dozens of law enforcement officers lined up on the road from the French district to the Central Commercial Quarter, and the celebrities threw beads in the internal security agents who stood on a armored truck while the police motorcycles were beyond the crowd.
Melissa Fuller, who attended the show with her husband and young two children, said that seeing the enthusiastic crowds of visitors mentioned why she loves to live in the city.
Fuller, 39, said, while her five -year -old daughter Charlotte was carrying her hands to capture necklaces from passers -by.
“This makes you really appreciate when you see other people seeing your city for the first time.”
“We are flexible”
Alwin Bayado, 35, who lives a few buildings from the show, said the event that included a march and even its appearance from the famous Budweiser Clydesdale Horses was an important opportunity for society.
“This was the tragedy of what happened and only shows how strong our city is,” said Baido, who brought his nephew to the show. “We are flexible through everything.”
Tourists said they were detained at the top of the dollar for a seat in Sunday's match in SuperDome, where the city recently completed a $ 560 million renewal, and was happy with the opportunity to seize the unique city culture.
Lori Millie, Eagles Lifelong, spent $ 22,000 on four tickets for the game, and put the flying plastic beads alongside her husband along the loud width path.
“I was going to arrest the grains of a couple and – beating! – I was shocked by him.” “But it is very fun, it deserves it.”
