"Zeus Conquers Egypt"

The Krewe of Zeus parade finally arrived Monday night. A fire engine led the way followed by motorcycles and dune buggies. The theme was “Zeus Conquers Egypt.”

Captain, King

The location of the front of Zeus was marked by rotating lights in the sky. The captain and lieutenants followed them. The king was preceded by a color guard and servicemen marching.

Queen, Horses

The queen soon passed. She was followed by several costumed-people on horses. Parish President John Young also rode a horse.

The Court, Boudreaux and Clotilde

Several maids with large plumed head dresses passed by me. The Zephyrs team mascots Boudreaux and Clotilde, had their own float. A stepper group performed as it passed.

Rich Colors

The floats in this parade were painted with rich colors. They were well illuminated too. I was so busy shooting photos I didn't worry about
catching beads.

Was That It?

There were some gaps in the parade. At the end, however, folks were not quite sure since the ending didn't seem like the end. Once folks started leaving I decided to leave too.

Saints Parade at Lee Circle

Last Tuesday night the New Orleans Saints rode in their own parade using floats on loan from several of the local Mardi Gras krewes. The parade halted many times as the parade wound it’s way through downtown streets. I happened to catch the event at Lee Circle.
