.- Naples, Italy We arrived at Naples after cruising up the Mediter- ranean and through the Straits of Messina at the boot of sunny Italy. Naples, an old friend to many of us, was a glad and welcome sight. Most of the crew went ashore to revisit old haunts of previous Med cruises and to pur- chase jewelry, cameos, gloves, Borsalino felt hats and leather goods, Within short distances from Naples were such famous tourist attractions as Capri, Sorrento, Pom- peii and Mount Vesuvius. A good many of the crew were really fortunate and got on tours to Rome lasting up to three days. The Rome visit was outstanding enough by itself, but it was made a once-in-a-lifetime experience by the papal audience the GREENWICH BAY men obtained at the Vatican with the new Pontiff. . .

The larger part of the economy of Palma is based on the tourist trade but we found the shopping and entertainment very inexpensive. The mild but invigoratingclimate and beautiful seenerv have combined to make the spot a fa- vorite haven for writers, painters, and composers of all nations who require quiet and seclusion for their P work, and for tourists the world over who want to forget - the bustle and care of the everyday world. Certainly, ll the world-weary travelers of the Green Witch will always remember Palma . . . possibly with the secret ambition to return someday to this island paradise , , , this pre- cious stone set in the silver sea. l -'J I t . it x .I CQ!'.JF..,,VfA-37.11150 '- P 'i 'f !t i.f 3 LA- -3- L 0 r..'- r I s , J, if P- L11 - elf Along ther waterfront A tree grows in Palm 1 I Three happy liberty hounds 3
