On our way to Lieth, Scotland, we passed through the Straits of Dover. The weather was unusually good, allowing us a magnificent view of the White Cliffs. The city of Lieth was disappointing, abounding in such points of interest as Tower Tavern, a place not worth describing. Consequently, most of us migrated to Edinburgh and other sights, such as Loch Ness. The castles reminded us of tales of days of yore, and secretly we wished a princess in distress would appear so we could fight for her honor. Our dreams of glory went unfulfilled, and we forced ourselves to return to the Bay State with its chipping, painting, and watches. On our way to Copenhagen, smiles reflecting lust in our mind could be seen on every face. We were not disappointed. The freespirited atmosphere of this great city enraptured us all. Beautiful and clean, it provided innumerable variations of entertainment. The fast pace of Tivoli Gardens excited us all, and the many beaches offered a unique opportunity to get better acquainted with a culture we had heard so much about. Several cadets took a hydrofoil to Sweden, and others visited a commune near the naval base at Copenhagen. Both were interesting adventures. 8
