At 5:15 Monday, or Lundi in french, the Proteus Parade stepped off in New Orleans.
Proteus is the Second oldest Parade at New Orleans Mardi Gras. Founded in 1882.
Masked revelers on horseback
The King of the Krewe
The Mythical Proteus is the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theology
Throw me something!! 
These are FlambeauIn the old days-- before electricity, they lit the way for the parade.
People throw them money for lighting the way
The Sun was going down... there was a small break and then the Orpheus Parade took the same route. -- pics to come!!
