GREECE Jk r fc: Jt • • • ' f - -— ' l4 ,jr ' ; If E1t ft i l i -« • • i y| :-W « I By the time we got to Salonika, our liberty parties seemed to get smaller. Most of us usually stayed aboard, watched the movie or spent hours trying to figure out where all our money went. Those of us that did hit the beach found the city a very interesting place — a veritable melting pot of many different cultures — both Eastern and Western. In just a twenty minute walk up from the waterfront we passed through modern Western European-style office buildings and stores, through present-day Greek residences, through markets and bazzars that couid be in any Eastern city, and through the old Turkish and Byzantine sections. Churches of different styles were everywhere — St. Georges, St. Demetrios, Saint Paraslsevi, the Church of the Apostles and the Vladactor Monastary. We took a tour to Philippi, where St. Paul is said to have been imprisoned. We spent a wonderful day at the American Farm School, playing football — and drinking milk. Our basketball team got beaten a couple of times by the Greeks aj- the YMCA. Parrish and Elka told us it was because the rules were different. We ate at the Olympus-Naoussa restaurant on Kincy Constauline St., reputed to be one of the best eating places in Europe. People thronged the streets every night — some lining up to see American movies, most just walking back and forth, all in no particular hurry to go anywhere. On the ship we rolled out the carpet for a Greek Gen- eral, an American Consul General, and about a hundred orphans — boys that all look alike with their shaved heads, and who got such a thrill riding on the 40 ' s . . . cute little girls who experienced for the first time drinking from a scuttlebutt.
