hmmmmmm no takers for Lafayette, La?

Lordandmaster -> RE: The City and what's it famous for game (4/26/2006 6:49:55 PM)
OK, Veracruz is a major trading port on the eastern coast of Mexico and was one of the prime targets of pirates for centuries. Edited to add: Veracruz also boasts the Veracruz harp, one of the most beautiful stringed instruments you'll ever hear. I'll leave Lafayette, Lousiana, to someone else.
