Super Sunday

On Sunday AV and I hopped on our bikes (well, I borrowed Brie's...need to buy one for myself) and cruised down to Central City to check out the Mardi Gras Indians that were out for what is known as "Super Sunday". From the research I have done on-line, the condensed version is that Mardi Gras was traditionally a white celebration so African-Americans created their own groups. These "tribes" of Indians get together and parade on the Sunday after St. Joseph's Day (which is a Catholic Italian holiday). They wear elaborate costumes and play drums and tambourines while chanting.

I took a ton of pictures as we watched them parade by! Enjoy!
