l l Alexandria, Egypt North African ports have always proved intriguing for the FARRAGUT crew, perhaps due to the drastic differences found in North African lifestyles, climate and natural as well as man made wonders. FARRAGUT Med-moored in Alexandria, Egypt on 31 August for a four day visit of this enchanting land. We found Alexandria to be a bustling city with sharp contrasts between its inhabitants and the ever changing lifestyles found in this large port city. The picturesque horse drawn carriage is always popular and the carriages of Alexandria moved in and out of traffic easily, with the driver half asleep at the reins or constantly turning around trying to sell his customers something. There is one consolation however, the all too obliging carriageman seemed to know all the best places in town. Right? , Alexandria was fascinating, but Cairo is just around the sand dune and the Great Pyramid of Geza beckoned us on Tours were available and bus loads of sailors were on the road to Cairo Saturday morning FARRAGUT S Blue Water Bayou stayed behind to play at the local Sport Club and the Alexandria Yacht Club while one thousand Egyptians turned out to see what was happening with those w1ld and crazy Americans Meanwhile on the road to Ca1ro the tour buses lumbered on through the burnlng Sahara Of course words can t really descr1be the wonder of the Great Pyramld or 1ts guardlan the Sphynx and ln the back of everyone s mind we all knew thls opportunity might only come once in a lifetime and our cameras have captured those distant memories for all time FARRAGUT departed Alexandr1a on Sep- tember 4 bound 'for Naples Italy. There was something special about Egypt its overwhelming sense of cultural and architectual development To think that we stood on the same ground as King Tut and rode down the fertile Nile River where Moses was cast a drift All the mysterious and exotic pictures we conjure up in our minds as we dream of ancient Egypt will 'be with the crew of the FARRAGUT for a long long time to come 30 Brannan w r V Brannan BTBHHBH . 1 . l 9 l l l l , l 1 , 0 I l . 3 ' a . 9 l . l 1 ' l . . . . , I , 0 . a - ' l l , , ' . 7 v l l - ' , w I l . . , . . .
