Our third port of call was Palermo, Sicily. This, the capital of Sicily is a city of over 500,000 people, situated in a fertile plain encircled by lofty hills. The founding of the city is attributed to the Phoenicians, but until modern times it was ruled by various peoples each leaving their mark on the city and the people. In 1860 it was captured by Garibald i and mode a part of the Kingdom of Italy. For swimming, Mondello Beach was only seven miles away from the city and many of us took advontage of the chance to enjoy some sun and swimming. Horsedrawn carriages were very pop- ular, as were local tours to Monte Pelle- grmo, the Garibaldi Gordens and other interesting places.

We remember it as a Navy town and the Italian Navy very graciously opened many of its facilities to us while we were there. Our stay was quiet and liberty was up early for most of us as we enjoyed the city to its fullest and then returned to the ship.
