2012's Mardi Gras was definitely one for the books. Although this year, strangely enough, it actually did not include binge drinking and a blur of beads at 8 am!
It actually was one of the most precious things I have ever experienced. Yesterday, I was invited to attend a Mardi Gras celebration with the 'older population' of Caen where we had crepes and got to try other traditional foods from the Norman area. Then, the association members regaled us with their stories from the France of the past. One was even in Caen for WWII!
