San Diego, our last stateside port, provided welcome liberty after an uneventful seven days at sea. Arriving in California on,17 August, we were enthralled by the sunny beaches, broad avenues lined with statuesque palms, and the balmy clim ate. Our international travelers found it only a short jaunt south to Tijuana, Mexico with its bright lights and revelry. But we had to go on - and not without regret, for we knew that it would be a long time before wezd see America again. On 20 August we sailed for Ha- waii. Downtown San Diego - one of the I picturesque squares in the center of the city. Leeman, Davis, Berube and Hall soakin' up the sun, sand and surf at La Jolla Beach near San Diego. 17f35.9 .z5
