On my way to downtown New Orleans late last night (1 AM), I ran into a traffic jam on the causeway bridge........ I was stopped at mile marker 16.4. As the few cars on the bridge were crawling at 10 miles an hour, we saw what the heck it was!
Obviously I was parked to take a clear photo of the mile marker!
And THIS is what caused the traffic jam! Its difficult to see because we were finally moving......
It was a caravan of MARDI GRAS FLOATS!
