Situated on the eastern coast of Italy and within driving distance from Rome, Naples and Pompeii, the visit to the City of Bari afforded sailors and marines the opportunity not only to sample a slice of Italian culture but also to embark on sightseeing excursions of historic points of interest. A day trip to Pompeii consisted of walks, under the peering pres- ence of Mount Vesuvius, through the preserved ruins of the ancient city. Overnight trips to Rome comprised of stops at The Vatican Sistine Chapel, St. Peter ' s Basilica and the Pantheon, photo opportunity strolls through the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain and Circus Maximus, and night time promenad- ing through Piazza Novona and Spanish Square. For those who chose to sought out closer attractions, the local cuisine and the numerous shops in town were the main attrac- tions. Known for its fine olive oil and red wines, the city ' s restau- rants served marathons of a meal - antipasti consisting of any- thing from octopus and veal to sundried tomatoes and spiced meatballs, a main pasta dish, a beef or fish entree, fresh fruits, dessert, coffee, and, to cap off the meal, an after dinner liqueur. For those who had liras to spare, sidewalk vendors and shops lining the streets of Bari offered numerous bargaining opportunities. Some days ended with Beer on the Pier, where, once they ' ve had their fill of pasta and Italian wine, AUSTIN crewmembers partaked in grilled hot-dogs and hamburgers, Budweiser and Pepsi, and good old rock n ' roll on the loud speaker. So that ' s how our Bari port visit went: a little bit of culture and history, some out-of-town rendezvous, a little bit of drinking and shopping, a touch of Americana, and lots of pasta. As they say in Italy, quo vadis AUSTIN? Surprisingly, in Bari, we had plenty of places to go. -LTD.L. Domingo 30 iLrWJ
