Carnival in New Orleans - an event we look forward to all year long here in this city of woes. Katrina may have knocked us down, but we will never let it erase the soul of this city. Here, Krewe of Zulu riders parade in their traditional black-face makeup (black and white riders do this - originally to lampoon the exclusive all-white more traditional krewes), and help us all to take a break from the drudgery and difficulty of rebuilding our shattered streets and blighted neighborhoods.
