In thi-1' stadium is kept a perpetual flame which is carried through a marathon every four years. john Bull's was out of bounds. One less place didn't make much difference.

After our longest period at sea during the cruise, we dropped both anchors for our only Med moor. Atten- tion of all hands shifted to the fantail and beyond, to the nearby Police Barracks and coke UD vendor. We had our first view of Leghorn, Italy, and pedestrian traffic on the quay. The wallr to town seemed short after our long time at sea. In the town we found waiting for us our first really European side-walk cafes. With its interesting color, Livorno was also the ' 'jum- ping off places for many tours. Pisa with itsifamous leaning tower, and Florence had their share of visitors during our 16-day stay. Points of Cameos and peiture posttards will surely brmo ,CL memories - memories of our side cleaners, of the Italian barber, the piazzas and glowing recollections of a certain young mother pushing 2 babY Sffouef' After 16 days in Leghorn, days filled with liberties and fours, we readied our ship, lifted our anchors and sailed off to work and other interesting ports as we continued our tour in the Mediterranean. ' ' ff' interest were on the business ends of our light meters and and cameras. For some there were tours to Army Camp Darby. For others there were trips to Rome. Probably more sight seeing was accomplished on the four-day tours of Rome than during the remainder of our cruise.
