it? ., Wg . fzflzm ...Time out for culture... This city was our first port ot call U3 to ill Octoberj after the Black Sea visit, and the con- trast between the sleepy, small Turkish cities and huge, bustling Athens and Piraeus was great. These cities QPiraeus is Athens' portj have a combined population of about l,500,00. Athens was the center and capitol of much ot what was ancient and Greek. As such, it was the object ot many tours and picture taking expeditions by our crew. Probably the most sought after attraction for us, as tor countless thousands of tourists, was the Acropolis and its Parthenon. This is truly the monument of the ages. Other local tourist attract- ions, which are excavated examples of antiquity, are Corinth and Mycenae. A second visit to Athens was mode from 24 to 28 November. -ef.,-:ref-K., Mi swf?-i,:sff :w 5 -' m Q X 'fairy TQ .vw . .- .. vngfl'-ii .cgi , J -l fi. lg .., f' V fs , 1 , -:gg -.5 A ,FJ me 21... it' f i- l - 3 ' Q i sff.:s,51M .gf A.. fp: 3 up ...iw W ,gh gy - V3 .

There wasn't any snow or Santa Claus, but the holiday spirit was wonderful, with several gaily decorated christmas trees aboard and an orphans party ashore. For some of The more venturesome sailors, Naples was the starting point for tours or excursions to surrounding areas. Formal tours were conducted to Rome, Northern Italy, Munich, Germany. Sai lors staying in Town, how- ever, soon learned to their delight that many parts of Naples itself are beautiful, and well Farragut's second birthday, 'IO December l962 worth visiting. 4' 4' ' .,, 4 vu- 1 ,, lid.. 11 ll Merry Christmas, i962 Roman Holiday , , X, ,,.., ,w.wqI,.wwMe,5e,.,,, 'i' ish K . y - , . . 2 r ' ex W T H N N 1 ,,,. . if - ' . - . 1 ' - ' 's'- SS 'IH ' 'L X viii-F5592 is as 'Aff' iff. ,KS sites: ' Q ...L - QS'-1?'iYe-Q fbi X, 'ff :., 5i'!5.f1 57. is Efffiiiiii' . i-'f.
