Two of my friends and I are going to Mobile, AL this weekend. One of my friend's dad lives there and she wants to visit him, and since carnival is going on we thought it would be fun to go now.
I've never been to a Mardi Gras celebration. I hear Mobile isn't quite as wild as New Orleans, and maybe that's good for a newbie
Was hoping some natives (or regular carnival goers) may be able to share some tips.
Is there anything I should know in advance/be aware of? Particular places of interest not to miss, etc.? Nightlife?
Laissez les bon temps rouler!
