Around the world Catholics are celebrating their last day before Lent which can only mean one thing: a giant party. Down in Brazil they call it Carnival, and Boston.com's Big Picture has an amazing photoset. New Orleans finally seems to have caught a break with their Super Bowl win and their new mayor, and they're certainly celebrating. From the Times-Picayune: For many New Orleanians, today’s festivities will mark the continuation of a party that began moments after the Saints 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV on Feb. 7. Indeed, just two days after the game, the team was celebrated in a parade that included floats from different krewes and which was broadcast live on national television. And on Sunday, Saints quarterback Drew Brees opened up this week’s festivities as the King of Bacchus. Anyone out there in New Orleans? Tell us about the party! added by: afitzgerald
