FIR DIVI I0 T WOULD take a volume to relate even a portion of the incidents which we have experienced during the last few months. VVe left Boston in May with mixed emotions-sorrow of leaving the States but with anticipation of the adventures to come. Our dreams of travel were surely fulfilled. lfVe traveled fifty thousand sea miles, we hit practically every major port in the Mediterranean, we boated and swam in every color of waterg while holystoning we saw our first royalty in Greece Qthey looked exactly like human beingsj. lille spent thirty wonderful days on the Riviera, acting like touristas, with our cameras and nosey wanderings-and wondering why our santl locker at frame six couldn't include more objects that were seen on the sands at Cannes and Nice. The Levant seemed to be the First touch of the real history book land for most of us-the beautiful Mosques with their many minarets and domes, the fez-headed men and veiled WOIIICI1. Perhaps our favorite pastime in every country was haggling with the vendors and the wonderful elation we felt when we thought we had made a good buy-the vendors lost much money on us, but made many, many friends. lfVe brought back everything from scarves, gloves and hats to banjoes and ukuleles bartered for in Sicily. And Channel Number Five flowed from shore to ship in Villefranche by the gallon. livery place we went we had the feeling people were glad to see us. They were willing to take us on in every sport- to win or lose with great sportsmanship, then give us a tre- mendous banquet. Some of us traveled to Paris, Rome, and Switzerland on perfectly arranged tours. Others were abso- lutely content to rest at a sidewalk cafe and watch the world walk by. lVe learned a little of the peoples' customs and a little more of their language. Foreign terms and phrases no longer appeared strange to us. Now as we sail back to the States all of us have a certain degree of eagerness-but still we can't help feeling that we have learned something that books could never teach us, and we have had experiences that will never be equalled by our friends at home.
