A ' W. 1, ' .. g- h N.i'.Q:ja1g11j +-pf 'x V i Wifi l 9-I5 IANUARY ANCHUR PMMA, SPAIN From our anchorage in the harbor we head for the beach across the bay with the Cathedral spires in the background reaching heavenward. To our left as we go in we see the imposing Castillo de Bellver and down along the waters edge the beautiful resort hotels. Many shopping sprees are in the making and principally we buy sport coats which we find of good quality and low in price. Fine bargains are found in leather goods and always souvenirs. The Island of Mallorca provides someinter- esting tours for us and we visit Valldemosa to see the room where George Sand and Chopin spent the winter of 1838. We also visit the Caves of Arta and Drach and gaze in amaze- ment at the wonders of nature. As we prepare to board our ship we stop again for a last look at the colorful boats and waterfront scenes -it has been a visit that will long be remembered.
