Celebrating Fat Tuesday around the World

Mardi Gras by Tara Jenkins

Happy Mardi Gras! Did you know they celebrate Mardi Gras in Venice, Italy? New Orleans isn't the only one kicking up her heels. Almost all of Europe celebrates except the U.K. They celebrate "Pancake Day" and as a custom, eat pancakes.The French eat crepes. Sounds like fun to me! Today I'm celebrating Mardi Gras and voting for a New President. I've never been this excited over an election in my life. The competition is fierce, the weather is beautiful, go and vote!
