Super Sunday 2009

Off we headed around noon, down to Central City for the beginning of the Mardi Gras Indians’ Super Sunday parade. This year it seemed like fewer tribes were there for the start, but were going to come in while they were underway.

But in a way, that was just fine- there was more more Indian-like behavior today- War Chants and dancing, calling back and forth among the tribes. It was a beautiful day for it, and a great way to pass the afternoon.
