Mobile Alabama

I was not impressed with Mobile, I thought the city was dirty and depressing. The only thing we went into was the Mardi Gras Museum and we found it very interesting. We were shown the tradition of Mardi Gras with its Royalty. A King and Queen are chosen and their costumes were spectacular. The Mardi Gras in Mobile is very family orientated not like the party atmosphere that New Orleans has. If you ever get the chance I would suggest you visit this museum. I could not take photos in there and they did not sell post cards of the costumes although they do have a nice gift shop although it was pricey. The market in town was very reasonable, you could buy 5 Mardi Gras masks (full of feathers) for $10.00; similar masks in Yuma sold for about $9.00 for one.
