Kittie? , l, YN 'ln his xii U ,I - M tl Q Q IM! QLJHC Q The quiet, friendly town of Villefranche would look tempting to a sailor anytime, but after ten days of Grand Slam Oper. ations, this Riviera town takes on all aspects of paradise. From the bay we take in the panorama of perfume shops, pastry stands, quaint French bars and restaurants, the narrow rues by the boat landing, and the seaside highway following the coast to the resort city of Nice. Liberty is plentiful, the prices reason- able, the weather perfect and all hands set their minds to nine days of relaxation before-the long .voyage home. Eventually everyone finds his way to the carnival city of Nice, sprawled between the mountains and the Bay of Angels. It takes only a few minutes to realize that Nice is a city of gaiety, catering to both the busy millionaire and the weekend tourist. The bus drivers always classify us with the latter and drop us off at the business center of town, the Place Massena. If we are lucky enough to find our way out of this center of traffic jams, market stalls, and modern department stores, we're bound to happen on the Promenade des Anglais which borders the most famous beach of all winter play- grounds. It is in the lavish hotels over- looking this boulevard that the wealthy and prominent citizens of the world vacation away their time over pernod at the side- walk cafes.

Each sailor has his own experiences of Nice to tell his family-the elderly English couple Who talked of their son in the British Navy, the French girl in the perfume shop who spoke per- fect Berlitz English, the lady from Chicago who stopped and asked for a simple explanation ofa the Franc system! And each hand will tell his family he enjoyed his stay in France, for the French know what Americans expect of France and see to it that we are not disappointed. Villefranche, with its fine foods, unpro- nouncable wines and gifts for the family will be remembered as our favorite liberty during the Mediterranean cruise and is one port we will look forward to visiting again on our future tours of duty. This is Nice? . .
