A walk along the beach prof vided some of the prettiest sight-seeing available throughout the Mediterranean. Because of tender availability our stay was extended to 13 days. This gave some of us time to make a trip to Paris. . Some of us took a tour along the entire Riviera and stopped at one of the perfume factories to see the hows and whys of the industry. A tour to Valberg, a ski resort in the French Alps, was also available. In Cannes we experienced aphenomenon common to the Northern Mediterranean - Mistral Winds. Strong swells and wind prevented boating and liberty for a day. Fortunately CPB not many people were trapped on the beach. French food, of course, was excellent as was the wine, champaign and beer. In Cannes the Ship's Store received most of our contract goods and was doing a land office business. It seemed everyone had at least one camera and had spent most of their money before the French girls put on a fashion show to sell clothing. Needless to point out, the fashion show was very successfull - from our point of view. r I V l i The Water Front , ,.., us- :-4.1.4-f---1 'k , , ..,..,.,..,-n,W-'f...f:Y...- ---in fr. 4 , , ., .,i.4,,,...'.,,4-

'Cathedral Looking over the City ,A small Cafe .1 Worm up for Big Game PALMA The city of Palma is located on the sou- thern coast of the island Majorca, largest island of the Balearica Group. It's principal commodity is an ideal loca- tion for continental tourists such as Mr. and MIS. Errol Flynn who came aboard COTTEN for dinner. The spires of Cathedral de Palma were a dis- tinct land mark. The church itself is known for its two 550-pound silver candlelabra. Na rrow-gauge trains carrying rocks to the end of the quay just about made our day complete. EV' enings were taken care of by the taxi drivers' Sup- plernentsn. Water here was different. But the cerveza WaS just as good as anywhere else. In fact, it QVCH seemed to taste better during the softball game played between officers and the crew. Note: the ball game was played on a polo field.
