Christmas in Second Division compartment. GENOA, ITALY Genoa meant Christmas — away from home — but Christmas just the same. It meant a star on the mast . . . colored lights on the quarter- deck ... a Christmas tree in the compartment ... a good turkey dinner. But Christmas in Italy meant more. It meant a party, for fifty orphans, a brilliantly lighted tree in the Piazza de Ferrari . . . Merry Christmas in Italian . . . the midnight mass in the church of St. Giovanni . . . and thoughts — many thoughts of home. We could visit one of the states along the waterfront — the Texas, the New York, the New Mexico, or the Florida but English there was not the predominant language. In the city itself we saw the home in which Christopher Columbus was born, cnuckled at the Napoleanic dress of the policemen, and came to the conclusion that most everyone here must play the accordian. Some of us left the city and visited Milan, Venice, Florence, the Italian Riveria, the Swiss Alps, or Rome and tried to absorb all the wonderful things that these places had to offer. International Commerce thrived. The junk laden Italian tradesmen and the American white hat continued to try to mentally out joust each other in the middle of the street the seller understanding the word dollar but not too much. The streets rang with Hey Joe, want a salami sandwich? . . . beautiful cameo, Joe, . . . rosary beads? Wanna buy a Berretta, Some got to Rome. The famed cemetery in Genoa. Where the intracacies of a lace design are sculptured to perfection.
