Our Gunnery Officer, Mr. Burson, captured the city's outstanding bargain in the form of a hand-combed, hand-woven, hand-stitched linen table cloth which had once adorned the table of the famous Medici fami- ly. This for the ridiculously low price of 6, 200 lire! Someone, how- ever, had thoughtlessly marked it, Chief Petty Officer's Mess-USS TARAWA . Then north to La Spezia, a modern industrial city and one of the principle ports of the Italian Navy. In all respects save one, we found La Spezia to be acompletely pleasant city. Regretfully, it is the off-key harmonica capitol of the world. When not practicing the double-tongue delivery of St, Louis Blues or Jumpin at the Savoy , many of us ventured to Rome, Pisa or Flor- ence with organized sightseeing tours. And many, of course, were the sights to be seen! Those who traveled to Rome were fortunately grant- ed an audience with Pope Pius XII. We departed from La Spezia, and following a grueling ten-day period of operations at sea, arrived in Cannes, France, to celebrate the Christ- mas Holiday. For everyone, it was a time of complete relaxation and enjoyment. We would, if necessity demanded, come aboard to eat a little, sleep a little or press a terribly wrinkled uniform. Tours of the French Riviera, Monaco, the Swiss Maritime Alps and Qsighj Paris re- ceived enthusiastic participation, but those ofus who remained in Cannes found no dearth of good, wholesome, red-blooded entertainment! Yes, it would be sinful understatement to say that we positively hated to leave Cannes. We then returned to Italy, this time entering the port of Genoa. Though it enjoys a history equaled by very few modern-day cities, Genoa takes greatest pride in having been the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. The home of this most famous explorer provided choice food for the cam- era bugs aboard ship! Finally, to Tarragona, aSpanish summer resort which antedates the Roman Empire and was once a Roman Province under the rule of Caesar Augustus. Remnants and ruins of the ancient Roman community, in a state of remarkable preservation, are to be seen throughout the city. But even in view of its time-honored historic significance, to the crew of the Willie Wood, Tarragona will always be synonymous with gracious hospitality. The townspeople demonstrate a cordiality unequaled in any other port which we visited. To further cement relations, hund- reds of Tarragonans were invited aboard the ship to visit and ask Qmill- ions of! questions. And thanks to our corps of brilliant interpreters, there arose no language difficulties. ANY thought might be accurately conveyed simply by beaming a sunday school smile and nodding one's head affirmatively. In reply, one might register delight, sorrow, am- azement, fright or agreement simply by beaming a sunday school smile and nodding one'shead affirmatively! Wonderful language, that Spanish. And so from Tarragona to Gibraltar, and the end of our Mediterra- nean cruise. On the pages which follow, you'll find a pictorial reCOI'd of the voyage. Of course, the many, many hearty laughs and hilarious situations which were so much a part of the cruise, defy both descrip- tion and computation!
