mU .- ' (jtMa, JHalif Just 24 hours after leaving Villefranche, the ship entered the breakwater of Genoa, Italy, the birthplace of Christopher Colunnbus in 1446. But this was 1954 and the crew was eager for more liberty. Although Genoa is only about 50 miles from the French Frontier, the whole topography of the land, the people, the language, everything had changed. No longer were there the gay damsels, the bikinis or the pastel colored building of France. The Rivi- era had extinguished itself at the Frontier, but the Italian Naval Representative spirit of the people was still present. Particularly, the sailor noticed the common peoples love of fine music. Genoa, like Ville is built in and amongst the Alps which extend to the sea in many places. Danc- ing, dazzling, sparklets of light could be seen dot- ting the hillsides when twilight approached. Many of the GB sailors climbed to some of the high- est hills where they were afforded an excellent view of the city and the harbor while others dined at the Grat+acleli, the terrace at the top of the city ' s skyscraper. Of course the men got to see the home where Columbus was born, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, as there are numerous small establish- ments that cater to the tourists that claim that Columbus slept here.
