Blurry Mardi Gras Memories - Saturday

The day of the parade! I'd say we slept in past midday again. We headed out for a breakfast wrap and coffee. I should mention Guy had joined us the afternoon before for the partying and the sleeping and now the breakfasting (the breakfast wraps were his excellent suggestion). I should also mention that the night before we ate a scorpion!! It had been soaking in Tequila (at the bottom of the Scorpion Tequila bottle) for a while and was squishier than I'd imagined it would be. We felt quite daring and manly eating the fearsome creature. Well I did anyway. :)

That afternoon we all spent some time in the gym - the previous days' eating and drinking playing on our minds. I ran on the treadmill for a while and then made a beeline to the pool to cool off. Scotty arrived that afternoon and joined us in the spa, where two very friendly older women walked past and took a group photo for us. Brad's housemate Billie arrived and injected some energy into the day as well.

Before we knew it the night was upon us and the parade fast approaching. Due to the fact the Marriott was in the middle of the action we needed to grab wristbands to
