New Orleans: Mardis Gras 2006 The Parades The Mardi Gras Parades were somewhat reduced in number and size and were all restricted to the same downtown route to mimimize city services. But they were still spectacular -- and Tony and I made quite a haul with the throws. I estimate that we brought back to the hotel about six tote bags full of beads and other kinds of throws. However, having secured positions on Bourbon Street balconies on two of the days, we gleefully tossed away about two bags full -- to great effect!
