GENOA, ITALY ' 7-17 NOVEMBER The first sight of snow on our cruise was the morning of 7 November as the Maritime Alps to the northwest of the city appeared shining in the light of dawn. We had completed a journey which took us from the warmth of Tunisia northward through the Strait of Messina to meet the cold rains of the northernmost reaches of the Medi- terranean Sea. The great size and industrial complexity of this, Italy's chief seaport was a psychologicaljoltg the GEARING having been the center of attraction in Sfax, was now reduced to the insignificance of being just another ofthe scores of visit- ing ships. But the American sailor's adventurous spirit was not deterred. Leave takers ranged as far north as Switzerland and Southern Germany to take advantage ofthe first skiing of the season. Shorter trips to Venice, Florence, Piza, Porto- fino, and Rapallo were made by enterprising tourists. For the majority who stayed on in Genoa, the historical attrac- tions and busy night life occupied most of their time. Most remembered will be the hillside funiculars, Colum- bus' birthplace, the Texas Bar, and the immortal Lisa at the Zanzibar. , i '- 4 Q ,1.
