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-

SALONIKA By the time We reached Salonika, Greece, our liberty parties seemed smaller. Most of us stayed aboard and watched movies or spent hours trying to figure out where all our money had gone, Those of us who did hit the beach found the city interesting - a veritable melting pot of different cul- tures - both Eastern and Western. In just a 20-minute walk from the Waterfront we passed through modern Western European-style office buildings and stores, through present-day Greek residences, through markets and bazzars that could be found in any Eastern city. We wandered through the old Turkish and Byzantine sections. Churches of different styles were everywhere: St. George's, St. Demetrios', the Church of the Apostles and the Vladactor Monastary. We made a tour to Philippi, where St. Paul said to have been imprisoned. We also made a trip to the American Farm School Where we found good fresh American milk and fresh corn-on-the-cob. People thronged the streets nightly - some lining up to watch American movies at local theaters, most just walking. No one seemed in any particular hurry to go anywhere.
