Many of fhe larger buildings shown are hotels where some of us had an opporfunify fo gel' some of the besl' meals we had since we left the s'I'a+es. Our only Spanish port was the city of Palma on the island of Mallorca, For those who had been wanting to see Spanish life, this was a port where their desires could be filled. In many of the night spots the Spanish dances were per- formed, and a bull fight provided the necessary Spanish touch to the visit. Those who desired bargains in clothing were quick to purchase suits which were sold at a price to suit our pockets. Beach parties enjoyed the cool waters of the bay, and Spanish beer which sold at a cost of only a few Hpotatoesi, as the money of the country soon became known. A few ventured to Madrid, but those who stayed behind consid- ered Palma excellent liberty. ALMA XXosy,sJWS r BA fx RZ My an The Cathedral of Palma as seen from a diS- fance. Here a Mass was held for all the Catho- lics of all the ships which had come fo Palm!- The interior was even more beau'I'iful than H19 outside.
