After the Mardi Gras parade

The review of the St. Louis Mardi Gras festivities ends with a bit of detritus. The parade turnout was light due to the cold, snowy weather. Those who braved the chill bleated for colored beads, a la New Orleans, thrown by the people on the floats. This year, there were far more beads than spectators, leaving hundreds of strands lying in the muck, waiting for the street sweepers.
