New Orleans wins Super Bowl...

...and elects new mayor, Mitch Landrieu




Both times I have visited New Orleans it has captured my heart, firstly with it’s wonderful music and people and secondly with it’s hope and resilience as I returned only 6 weeks after hurricane Katrina.

So it is with great joy that I read that last weekend New Orleans won the Super Bowl for the first time. For a city that is still rising form the ashes this means more to many of the residents than just a sports victory.

Hopefully this win, together with the election of a new mayor, Mitch Landrieu, on 6th Feb 2010 will see a series of new beginnings for this wonderful city.
