SUPER=03-New Orleans, LA;
The traditional Fat Tuesday parade brought people into the street-
And millions are celebrating.
Mardi Gras ushers in Lent- the 40 day pre-Easter observance.
Lent begins tomorrow with Ash Wednesday- a day of religious fasting.
But in New Orleans partying rules- at least until Midnight.
