60? Look at all that fresh water! THE FIRST QUEEN Yacht basin. P' Four days after Gibraltar, with a day and a half stop at Cagliari, Sardinia, we visited San Remo, the largest city on the Italian Riviera and considered to be its most popular resort. San Remo had a double appeal: a combina- tion of the old and the new. The old city with narrow cobblestone streets is typical of old cities throughout the Med. lt offered good picture tak- ing and small bars with excellent wines. The new city displayed modern stores and a fine shopping district, showing first class clothing and souvenir items. The Hotel Royal with its beautiful gardens and California type pool is in the luxury class. Since San Remo has no outstanding historical interest, many men found themselves strolling along the Promenade in the cool of the evening, getting a look at an informal aspect of Italian life. For those not athletically inclined, outdoor cafes were good vantage points to sit, watch, and sip. Men who wanted to get out of town found an excellent view from the cable car, fine tennis courts, golf, and swimming available. San Hema, Italy M A Y wt X-tr if-tr I3 14 I5 I6 Funicula ride.

E Our tour to Paris was everything that we had expected it to be and, considering all we had heard about the city, that was very good indeed. When we arrived, we went straight to the hotel, where rooms had been reserved for us. The accom- modations were wonderful and, better yet, reason- able. Our meals were provided for by the price of the tour and, after a delicious breakfast, we were off on the first day of sightseeing. We saw everything that tourists see: the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre Museum, and at night we went off on our own to see a few things that many tourists don't see . . . they couldn't have seen them because it cost too much. Paris night life, with champagne fifteen dollars a bottle to those who'll pay, is more expensive than any other in the world. VVhen aH B and and donethough,hs cheap at half the price for, after all, it is Paris night life. Whether it's the advance publicity, or whether it's true that it does have some secret charm, we left the city feeling that Paris is something very special. in ming Villefranlzhe, France II ffnur tn Paris, Western suburbs and Bois de Bologne from the Eiffel Tower.
