I give you the late, great, Joe Don Looney.

I have not been to that part of Portugal, so nothing first hand I can give on it = but, both Spain and Portugal have some great local government websites that are usually filled with info re places of interest to visit there. I'd start with that resource and then just do a deeper dive from it, if needed.

If it happens, it will mark the return of professional basketball to New Orleans.

Most beautiful:
1. Seville, Spain - my home for the past 5 years. Unbelievable mix of Spanish and Moorish cultures and architecture.
2. Tie between Lisbon and Porto - beautiful oceanside cities with hill terrains and magnificent architecture
3. Not a large city, but Aix en Provence, France. Feels like you stepped into a fairytale.
Most disappointed
Marseille - my friends in France warned me, but it was on our way to Aix. Its nice close to the water, but just a little bit away from that area and the dirt and stench consumes everything.

Probably easier to fly to Lisbon, then train north to Porto and from there head to Barcelona to start your Spanish adventure. Been living in Seville for the past 5 years so ask away re both countries.

You can take a train between both cities. Have been to both recently - our preference is Lisbon, but both are beautiful. Porto is def hillier and may take some getting used to, but Lisbon is not exactly flat either. In Lisbon, we usually stay in the Mouraria neighborhood - beautiful area that is close to the Atlantic. In Porto, we stay in the Riberia, the historic district. Two days in either city will give you a lot to see and do. Train times vary, but you can travel between both in about 3 hours.

Yeah, first time in NO and you go to a steakhouse?!? Roast beef poboy from Parkway?!? He def needed better intel on where to go in the city. Hats off to him though for not sugarcoating what he did not like.

Yes - rebuild, but maintain the 3 rooks. In addition to the lack of 3 point shooting, the team ranks 4th to last in number of offensive rebounds given up per game. This team is just horrendous at simple fundamentals, like boxing out your man.

No. Read what he first posted. He was wrong. The school is the govt. Doesn't mean employees have unfettered free speech. It also is clear that they do have some 1st amendment protections as their employer is, in fact, the govt. The firing was unjustified and they opted to pay a sizable sum out of court.

Week 18 - when losing is winning.

Undoubtedly, and I would add Fats Domino to that list. It should have been in NO, but the "esteemed" minds of the tourism bureaus in the city and state did not think it would significantly add to tourism (and, they were dead wrong). There is hope that a La. Music Hall of Fame will get built, but it was part of that development on Convention Center Blvd that has fizzled out, so its now homeless.
