ROTA, SPAIN JULY 23-25 On a hot and humid July morn- ing, Briscoe arrived at Naval Base Rota, located on the southwestern coast of Spain, for a brief port visit. This visit afforded Briscoe ' s crew a chance to learn about Spanish cul- ture and, more importantly, al- lowed the crew to make that first phone call home after crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, Briscoe sailors ven- tured off base to enjoy the hospital- ity of the tranquil little fishing vil- lage of Rota. Rota ' s charming neighborhoods were characterized by sun-baked, pastel colored houses with red tiled roofs, narrow and winding cobblestone roads, and wrought iron fixtures which en- closed balconies and portals of local homes. In the center of town, Briscoe ' s crew flocked to numerous open air restaurants to partake of Spain ' s world famous cuisine: hamburgue- sas, pizza, and sangria. Numerous sailors who wanted a taste of home were not disappointed by Rota ' s version of The Hard Rock Cafe. Some crew members relaxed on Rota ' s white sandy beaches, crowded with European vacation- ers. Although the port visit was brief, Rota ' s charm and tranquil atmo- sphere relaxed the crew and provid- ed a temporary respite from the strenuous daily underway routine.
