S+, Marlt's Square August 17 - August 21 One of the best if not THE best liberty ports we visited was Venice, City of Beavers with canals for streets and gondolas for taxis. We had an ideal berth, at the foot of the Grand Canal about four hundred yards from the Palace of the Doges lPalazzo Ducalel. Liberty parties went ashore by gondola. .lust a few minutes walk from the landing was the ornate Byzantine cathedral of St. lVlark's lSan Marcel and the great square lpiazza San Marcol ringed with many shops selling famous and excellent Venetian glass and lacework. There were no cars, motorcycles or bicycles in Venice, the only methods of transportation being by foot, gondola, or on one of the steamers lvaporettil that plied the Grand Canal, sometimes to the dis- illusionment of the gondola-minded tourist. For two thousand lire 13533 a gondolier would take you up the Grand Canal, past the famous palaces to the Rialto bridge and return to the square via the Bridge of Sighs. The square of San Marco was the center of ac-- tivity in Venice . .. . an international center. There one could see as many German, French and American Gondola XX wfwwfwv-se:-ws-.,.,.,W.W...

There was something about Venice that gave the spirit a genuine lift as soon as one stepped ashore. It was a happy place, unrushed, wrapt in a thousand year history of art and culture. From the ancient, colorful city to the modern Lido, with it's famous beach and elegant hotels, the atmosphere was friendly and inviting. Who could ever forget a night in Venice? ,M,,af . .

When the P.X. grew dull there was the Hanger Club or the Kit Kat Club or the city sights, which included the old castle on top of the hill and the Roman theater. The town didn't seem too much different from the other Italian towns we had seen. It was a little larger, and boasted a streetcar system but aside from that the people, currency, and food were all familiar, all Italian, and all good for liberty. g For four nights the movies aboard were not crowded, fMovies?
