No to France, check amsterdams new laws concerning cannabis I think it's no longer allowed for tourists

I recommend Barcelona but then again I'm biased

Definitely do it, so worth it.

You won't need a visa because you won't be there for the allotted amount of time (I think 4 months)

England. I was in France for a day, but my host family was constantly saying how the French are some of the unfriendliest Europeans to foreigners and how their cities smell of urine.

Maybe that's just their opinion but still, I'm sure others had good experiences there.

France doesn't deserve that reputation. Paris was one of the cleanest cities I've seen.

You just have to be very aware of pickpockets and camera/phone snatchers.

Barcelona in December? No way. The coast is beautiful, but its dead after October.

Amsterdam was too expensive for my tastes. When I went, it was a family trip, so I had none of the stuff Amsterdam is famous for...

To clarify my earlier post about discounts at train stations...

Many of them have weekend regional passes that you can get for somewhere around 20-50 euro. They're good for the whole weekend as long as you're on a regional train (you have to pay attention to the numbers on the cars - trains split up and go different directions - get on the right one). They'll give you a card and you might have to leave some car keys or something at the station. You have to give the card back when your traveling is done.

I'm not sure why someone would say European cities and countryside are poo. Must not have been to Europe.

Spent a bunch of time in Germany when one of my relatives lived there. I think i have been 4 times.

As far as France vs England I would pick Southern France. Skip Paris and tool around the countryside and do some wine tours. But December in London is not bad either as there are fewer tourists and you can get cheap theatre tickets if that is your thing. Or just f around in pubs.

But if it were me i would explore close to where you will be in Germany and add a few day trips in. If you are North then take a 3-4 hour train ride to Amsterdam one day. Prague could also be 3-4 hours and that is an amazing city

You cannot get into Europe without a Immigration Visa. But if you are a tourist, they just stamp the visa in your US Passport when you enter.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
