The first time I got out of a liberty launch at Villa the Riviera sort of dazzled me-fast cars. narrow, steep roads. sidewalk cafes, brightly colored Hshing boats. gin-clear water. stoney beaches, banana trees. cactus plants. and practically nothing at all to a bathing suit la couple strips of cloth U. You can have your Texas Bar at Lisbon and Cosmos at Barcelona, but l'll take the 02 level at Villa about 2230 when things really start poppin'. Steak and eggs with a few beers or some rose wine at Mom Cermaine's or the Nautic Down on the waterfront put you in the right mood. Then. give me strength to get up those seventy-five steps to the Broadway of HVilla and let me get lost in the smoke. music. perfume, and beer suds at the Montana or maybe the Ameri- can Bar, Wine and cognac are all right too. but lim a dancer. at least for a minute or two, and beer's about my limit. Can those gals flatter a guy. Look out for Beachguard .-Xnnie. though, No wonder we support fem. They say they love the Salem and the U. S. Navy-we love them. so itis a mutual feeling. If youire still game after a couple hours on the U2 leyel then come on down to the bus stop and weill grab the next bus or a taxi into Nice. Christine at the Monte Cristo does a pretty good show when the shore patrol isnit around: and youfve got to check in at the Plantation for the first show. From there on you can find plenty to do like listening lu a high brow concert out along the promenade at one ol' those fancy cafes near the Ruhl Hotel, or checking in at Nlaximf-'s with a hefty bankroll. Before the Salem left Ville-franc-he for the last time I played in a couple of divisional softball championship games at the soccer field. The old man and the exec watched those games too. We figure Villefranche has the best setup of any port in the Med for ball games. Well, itis a great port. but lim getting sort of homesick for good old Boston. You'd never guess it. though.
