-N 'Q Sm Venice. Italy Venice was the most unique city that we visited during our time in the Medi- terrean and before we left, one of our favorites. For the charm that Venice has seems to increase as you learn the ways oftthis city. ' In Venice the canal replaces the avenue and the gondola the automo- bile. Thelover one hundred canals that run through t-he city divide it into a maze of narrow passageways, quaint footbridges, and picturesque struc- tures. The plaza of San Marco,,in the center of the city, is the heart of Vene- tian life. Here is found the world-fam- ous Cathedral of St. Marks, the old customshouses that date back to when Venice was Europe's importer of Ori- ental treasures, and the city's finest shops and cafes. The rest of Venice is dark walks, but behind the dingy build- ing fronts these took us by were found its best nightclubs, restaurants, and bars. And while much of Venice's beauty is repetitious, it was a beauty that no one could tire' of. Q X '1

Triesfe. F.T.T. The NORRIS was in Trieste twice with a trip to Venice in between. As a result we spent more time there than in any other port. Trieste was dif- ferent due to its unusual political situation. The struggle for the city, with its fine natural harbor and facilities, is an old one between ltaly and Yugloslavia. Actually it dates back to before World War l. When the British Army entered Trieste in i945 they found the city also occupied by Yugoslav troops. To prevent any conflict and to solve the problem of which country was to re- ceive the territory, two zones of occupation were set up, the A zone iointly controlled by British and American forces, and the other, the B zone, occupied by Yugoslav troops. That is how the situ- ation has remained. Still Trieste was good liberty. Places like the sixteenth century castle of San Giusto and old Miramar castle were of interest. Also facilities for servicemen were the best that we had found yet with several flriclubs recreation halls gyms qnd a bowling alley. The Army also ran a well-stocked Post-Exchange that offered real buys in cameras and other items. ,4..., Trieste N J , ei J i a T uh i fi ll Qlffrit 'N , '-C: Nf':po- 'url-S X-'B Q6 y l,,55l 1 5 ry , if
