Last year, as Egyptians, we were freezing on March 4th. So, we decided that since the 2005 MG was on February 8th, we'd play it smart. Dress as Vikings. Lots of fur. We were warned by a friend who lives in New Orleans about our strategy, that it might be hot. She was right.
New Orleans is the most unpredictable place weatherwise, that I've ever been, during the transition from winter to spring. When we arrived on Friday, it was nippy. When we were packing up on Wednesday, sweat was rolling off of us, it was so warm and humid.
