lUliMimflMl ANTWERP a charming city on the banks of an open storm drain — or so it would seem. The Barrymen were more than eager to hit the beach here, but one had to watch out for the seawall - it was never in the same place for long. Among the sights on the usual tour, was the 14th Century Gothic Cathedral - the largest in Belgium. Other places of interest were the home of Rubens, and the Municipal Museum, which has some of the best examples of 17th Century Flemish Masters in Europe. Of course the real point of interest was the availability of enter- tainment. One had only to pick up a phone book and look up Bars . . . sort of reminds one of the physicians listing in the New York City phone book. The English may have their Afternoon Tea but stand by when the people of Antwerp head for the cafes and their afternoon beer. The officers took an English Pub — The Red Lion by storm and held out against all comers for 7 days. The rest of the crew was content to visit the other 4,983 taverns, cafes and pubs along with the favorite American pastime - girl watching.
