The ship was already into its third month at sea and was operating with no certain date of return to our homeport of Norfolk, Virginia. The possibility of conducting an Amphibious Assault on the beaches of Kuwait was a sober- ing thought for all of the 450 Sailors and 600 Marines onboard. The SHREVEPORT's 569 feet was Mel- bow room only and offered minimal privacy. Though difficult at times, the shipboard environment is not the ma- jor hardship of Navy life. Family separation, especially during holiday seasons exacerbates the sailoris al- ready stressful conditions. This is probably the most anguishin g experi- ence a sailor must endure. SHREVEPORT returned to Norfolk on 17 April 1991 to a Heroes' Welcome after a long and arduous eight month deployment in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The yellow ribbons and me- mentos supporting our troops have since faded into memory while SHREVEPORT,s workups evolved into a seven month turn-around for deployment. One SHREVEPORT . I Underway 05DEC91 sailor commented that the ship spent eight months underway with only 18 days inport and has now spent seven months uturning-tow preparing for another six month deployment. This is real sea duty! Since returning home 17 April 1991, SHREVEPORT enjoyed a well- deserved one month stand down. This period of relaxation was followed by a one month Intermediate Mainte- nance Availability with USS YELLOWSTONE, a Command In- spection and extensive preparations for ship's Change of Command in June. For the Fourth of July, USS SHREVEPORT traveled to Boston, where she helped celebrate our nation's birthday and joined in the Harborfest activities. Upon returning to Norfolk, SHREVEPORT entered Metro Machine Shipyardls drydock for a frenzied month of repair work. After completion of all repairs, SHREVEPORT was underway again, conducting three weeks of pre-de- ployment workups off the coast of North Carolina and Puerto Rico. During workups, SHREVEPORT served as flagship for Commander, Amphibious Squadron Six and Com- manding Officer, Two Pour Marine Expeditionary Unit. She also was Primary Control Ship during two am- phibious landing exercises and served as secondary control ship for three other landings. During this excellent training experience, itreally soaked in that the November 25, or 3 days prior to Thanksgiving deployment date I D- Dayj, meant spending another holiday season away from home. QM2 Rob- ert Jasper stated, HOn the bright side, deployments are an excellent oppor- tunity to save money. Also, I think this deployment will have more port calls than most deploymentsf' ABF3 Randy Brookshire added, 'flt will be a nice change to be deployed and inport. For the newcomers to the Mediterra- nean, this cruise will go by fast and should give them fond memories to reflect onf, Both Petty Officers J as- per and Brookshire have weathered two deployments on SHREVEPORT and will soon be adding a second star to their sea service ribbons. This year Christmas came early as SHREVEPORT,s 3-day prior to Thanksgiving deployment date was rescheduled to 5 December and al- lowed the crew to enjoy this holiday with their families. SHREVEPORT' s performance is a matter of great pride to each member of her crew. In the last 15 months she has logged 10 months underway. traveled over 50.000 nautical miles. tenough to circle the world twicel and deployed on 05 December on another six month de- ployment to the Mediterrean Sea.

Christmas cookies a sweet gift A group of seaman will have a taste of U.S. Christmas cheer. thanks to some students' creative cooking. What do you get when you combine 48 pounds of cookie dough. some lO pounds of sugar, bunches of raisins and edible trims. and a number of small, helping hands? You do get a few messy hands and a lot of dirt cookie sheets. More importantly. you get batches of home-baked cookies that will make the crew of a U.S. Navy ship feel a little merrier this Christmas. As pan ofa community service project, students at St. John' s Lutheran School in Libertyville spent two days recently decorating and baking literally hundreds and hundreds of homemade cookies. The students each contributed 75-cents toward the materials cost of around S75. The cookies are being sent to the At this age, give but their time and love , those that are wrapped in a big bow. The student seemed to enjoy it. They flattened out the dough balls, covering them with mini Sweet Tarts and silver balls in tree and face designs. There were raisins formed into 1960s peace signs, too. Mark Steckel, a fourth grader from Gurnee, pounded the dough enthusiastically. HI like splatting the dough, he said. 'fl think they will like them. The children, though, were sometimes a little too enthusiastic, the trays filled edge to edge with dough. Teachers checked the sheets carefully. HWatch them, warned fifth grade teacher Marie Voecks of Mundelein. They have to have only six to eight on a platef' Sweet treat Admittedly, the cookies didnit look real Christmasy with pink sprinkles, Sweet Tarts and those hard, fruit-shaped candies.

Q' 'W -5 SS HREVEPORT magine the loneliness of being an elderly man or woman in a nursing home, waiting for some- one to visit, but seldom do visitors drop in. Each day can be routine and rather uneventful. Most of these people were once full of vitality as evident by their cherished photo- graphs on display in their rooms. Let me introduce you to Wil- lie',: at a younger time in his life this man was a craftsman by hobby and a taxi driver by profession. Recently he has had an operation that removed his uvoice boxn and now can only talk by using a hand held modulator that produces a science fiction type of voice. He was one of the people that members of USS SHREVEPORT, CGMPHIBRON SIX and 24 MA- RINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT visited. Those who went on the Community Relations 'GCOMRELN project spoke little Spanish but man- aged to feel the warmth and happi- ness of these retired individuals. With our Spanish guide and two interpret- ers, we established a closeness to Willie and several other retirees. Wil- lie has a reputation of being an isolation- ist and generally in a somber mood. To the amazement of the Nursing Home staff, he showed us his figurines that he had arranged into a beautiful nativity scene. After receiv- LPD 12 visits retirement homes on island of pain praise from us, he also showed us the tree he decorated for Christmas. To many of us this may seem small, but to Willie his pride in the appearance of the tree was overflowing. Willie' s eyes teared slightly as he stood beside his arrangement to have his picture taken. We exchanged greetings after a tour of the facilities and meeting the folks at this retirement home. Our interpreter said in Spanish, u...we are away from our families during these holidays and we have found you to be our family today. . P' The elderly group clapped with joy in their faces when they heard these words. There was also a delightful humorous moment when our interpreter commented on the beautiful women of Palma espe- cially the ones in front of us. Each of the women gave us a kiss on each cheek NOne kiss for you and one for your family, our interpreter trans- lated. We could not understand why Willie abruptly left this social gather- ing. Could he be angry or offended by our comments? We later learned he exited the room because of the tears in his eyes. As we were leaving, there was Willie! He appeared from his room and gave Chaplain Sloat and RP2 Ware a hand-carved basket that he made from a walnut shell. Our tour guide said he would call Willie' s rela- tives and say how happy he was today and his family would CAPT Salyer USMC commented that COMREL not be able to believe projects like these help us to put life into the right perspective.

Before returning to their homeland, LTI G Zebakhe and his fellow Moroccan officers were distributed among MARG 1-92 ships. He spent his month onboard fine- tuning the Naval academics as they apply to the American fleet. For Said, it is a time of professional training, new experiences and enjoyment. 'The Moroccan Navy doesnit travel like the U.S. Navyil says Said. HOur ships are smaller and most often serve on as a coast guard service, usually getting underway for only three or four days at a timef, After sailing on a Moroccan frigate for close to a year, Said has never set foot in a foreign country. During his one month stay on SHREVEPORT he will visit Spain twice, Portugal twice, and France. 'il am enjoying my time here on the SHREVEPORT, and I'm learning a lot. But for me the best part of the cruise is the ports and the people. When I go back to Morocco, the training will help me as an officer and seeing the different cultures, talking with people--es- pecially my A m e r i c a n friends--will help me see the world better?

One of the sailor tour guides commented, '6Hosting American kids overseas is a treat just to hear them talk. They really asked some good questions and a ship is such a curious place that children are naturally intrigued. When the tour guide jokingly asked at the end of the tour who was ready to join the Navy and Marine Corps nearly all of the hands were raised. One little girl kept her hand up and asked do you take girls? The tour guide responded I am sorry. not on this ship but other Navy ships do. She began to cry and pouted. but I want this ship. Her tears were turned to smiles when she was given a postcard of the ship. a Welcome Aboard pamphlet and a cookie for the road. Perhaps lO years from now when she is of recruiting age.

The game was held in Aix en Provence which is to the North of Marseille, France, where the two Am- phibious ships were berthed. The French team currently has three American play- ers on their 45 man team. Since American style football is relatively new to the European theater, all of the American players have been placed into critical first string positions. Deandre Smith, 49, of Southwest Missouri State - Quarterback, Michael Guthrie, 4125, from the University of Georgia - Defensive lineman and Johnny Woods, 1136, ofLibe1'ty University in Lynchburg, Virginia - Running back, are all typical examples of the positions the French scouts prefer to fill with quality American players. Before and after the game, the American players took time to talk to the American sailors and marines. This made the home team, French Argonauts, seem even more of a home team. All ofthe Foreign players sign a one year contract and spend eight months in France and the remainder of the year traveling between Europe and the States. All of the players receive a monthly salary, travel allowance, full medical and dental care, room and board. I think there are a few Navy Recruiters who could offer them a similar package deal. The game was enjoyable but not very competitive. The French shut out the Danish team 50-O. This game is part of the playoffs to the EURO-BOWL, which will be played in June and televised world wide. Perhaps the MARG sailors and marines will see the French Argonauts on their living room sets in the United States. Story by LT Michael G.

The master of ceremonies for the memorial service was SHC J. Griffin. The service included: a reading of Dr. King' s biography by LT J. Galle, an inspirational commanding officeris tribute by CAPT R. L. Peterson, Old Testament reading by CWO2 J. Stephens, New Testament reading by PCI T. Wright, a responsive reading led by YN3 K. Nelmsg a reading of Dr. King's I Have a Dream by SHC J. Griffin, special vocal music by PCSN W. Swann and congregational singing of the Battle CWO2 Jerry Stephens takes a reading. Hymn ofthe Republic and O Beauti- ful for Spacious Skies, led by LT T. Haugen. The commanding officer's trib- ute stressed the continued impact of Dr. King's ideals of equality and en- hancement of individual character from each workplace onboard the USS SHREVEPORT to their fami- lies and community. USS SHREVEPORT is the flag- ship for CTF6l and CTF62 and is currently deployed in the Mediterra- nean Sea CMARG 1-925. Embarked units include ComPhibRon SIX and elements of 24MEUCSOCJ, ACU2, ACB-2, BMU2 and EOOMU-2. Story by LT Tom Haugen The Isle of Crete and USS SHREVEPORT CLPD 121 While overseas on deployment, often the most eco- nomical way to visit a port is on a ship sponsored tour. USS SHREVEPORT usually gets a discounted group rate and the ship's Morale, Welfare and Recreation CMWRJ fund subsidizeis a percentage of that reduced rate, according to LTJ G Jim Dotter ship' s MWR officer. While in Crete the tours available were particularly de- lightful on the pocket Book. , One example is the Omalos Mountain Tour that I was fortunate enough to attend, since the road up the mountain in the winter time is open only on weekends, weather permitting. This retreat is situated only 20 miles as the crow flies from USS SHREVEPORT' s anchorage in Souda Bay, but 45 miles by road. For twenty dollars the crew member was treated to a guided bus tour of the harbor in 14th century architecture, the city of Hania, then up the valley through winding hair pin tums rising some 4500 feet into the mountains. The view of the Blanc uWhite Mountain range is spectacular and a tradition greek luncheon was served in the village of Omalos. According to our guide, the island of Crete contains 28 million olive trees yielding some 200,000 tons of olive oil annually for export. This is evident from half way up Mount Omalos where the bus makes a brief morning stop. One can enjoy the view in this tiny village of cafes and have some coffee or dessert. About l 100 am the bus reaches the base of Omalos gorge, which is the largest gorge in Europe, having come the last 8 miles through a 6 foot deep single lane snow path. At the end of the road is the village of Omalos with four restaurants, a half dozen vacant homes and lots of snow to play in. Our lunch around a hot blazing fire place consisted of bean soup, bread, a greek salad with locally made sheepis mild cheese and lamb shiskabob. The long ride down the mountain goes quickly as most people enjoyed a cat nap awaking occasionally to take in the view. Returning to the pier is not the end of the journey as the tired sailors and marines await the departure of the 'fLiberty Boat and a two mile transit to USS SHREVEPORT which is anchored in the bay. What was the highlight of this bargain tour? The spectacular views that only nature can provide. story by LT Michael Pacheco Snow on Omalos Mountain. i X9 fix. Q - ' Vi ' n ,ii-thi Israeli school refurbished HRE EPORT volunteers USS SHREVEPORT CLPD 125 hosted 55 third and fourth graders from D gania Tirat school located in nearby Carmel along with 116 members of Ahavah Childrenis Village while in Port Haifa, Israel. The children from- the school and the village brought a special atmosphere to the crew and character of USS SHREVEPORT. Ahavah is a home for children from ages 4-18 who are orphans or whose parents are unable to care for them. Their parents may visit them one or two days a month. Ahavah in Hebrew means love, and has been provid- ing love for nearly 75 years. Sailors and Marines from ComPhibRon Six, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit CMEUJ and SHREVEPORT developed a closeness to this children, s village after spending several days painting and refurbishing a 40-person apartment style building, includ- ing sleeping quarters and bathrooms. Under the direction of LT Jack Galle, SHREVEPORT' s chaplain, this remodeling project was a complete success. The building chosen to be painted is scheduled to be tom down once two new buildings are built. One of the two buildings has been funded through private donations and the other is two or four years down the road. Freshly painted white walls and ceiling added light to the dimly lit rooms. Almost all ofthe children learn the popular phrase thank you in English and randomly shook hands as they practiced their limited English. These children were thankful for the refurbishing project, the attention from the crew and their visit to the ship. All ofthe holes that protruded through the 16-inch walls were filled to keep out bugs and the weather. In the winter one small electric heater per eight-person room is used conservatively and every hole repaired added warmth to the building. One of the children, through an inter- preter, said he is no longer afraid to go to the laundry room because large holes in the walls had been re- paired. The visit to USS SHREVE- PORT included a welcome by the Commanding Of- ficer, CAPT R.L. Peterson, a static Marine display of mortar and other heavy hand weap- onry by Marines In full Combat LCPL Mau T. Casebolt with cake. gear, a tour of the flight deck, a look at a radar console, tour of the ship's bridge, through officeris country, the shipis store and retuming to the mess decks. The tour groups were greeted by Barney the Clown, sometimes known as CTMl Dwight R. Barthouse of ComPhibRon Six. He brought smiles to the children as he assisted in serving cookies, punch and juggled tennis balls, apples or anything else he could borrow from the kids. When everyone retumed from the tour they sang a special song in Hebrew thanking the Sailors and Marines for their hospitality. Each child was given a postcard and welcome aboard pamphlet in both Hebrew and English. Ahavah invited the shipis crew to the children's village later that day for one last chance to socialize with the children. L!Cpl. Matt T. Casebolt from the 24th MEU baked a cake in the shape of the Israeli flag with the inscription Israel and USA, lifetime friends with Ahavahf' Ahavah Children' s Village left a special place in the hearts of many of the Sailors and Marines. LT Michael G. Pacheco with CTMl Dwight R. Barthouse 's '-N - ' French orphans make SHREVEPORT sailors and Marines feel at home What do you get when you combine 20 sailors and Marines with 30 orphans and a soccer ball? In simplest terms the answer is 20 sore bodies and 50 very happy people! Sailors, Marines and orphans. Sailors and Marines from USS SHREVEPORT CLPD 125 and Com- mander Amphibious Squadron Six staff visited the Center Eucalyptus orphanage in Toulon, France. Before they played, they worked to improve conditions at the orphanage by clean- ing out a garage-warehouse. The orphanage is perched on the top of a pine-tree forested cliff overlooking the Riviera Coast of Southern France. Marci Gririn, and American utrans- plant fluent in French and married to a French naval officer, served as our interpreter. A French supervisor and guide nicknamed Victor,' directed the field day crew and complemented the work- ing party. Meanwhile, Signalman Third Class Dave Rutler and Signalman Second Class Scott Alexander spoke to students at a parochial school not far from the orphanage. T h e groups com- pleted both projects by noon. As the field day crew walked down the hill they could smell the b a r b e c u e fires. Just as the field day crew ar- rived, they heard the thunder of screams and the patter of little feet running down the hill from the school. The kids had been eagerly anticipating the Americans, visit and the barbecue and could no longer contain their enthusiasm. As the French children approached the American group the kids huddled to- gether and milled about in a pack. Within amatter ofafew minutes most of the kids paired up with one of the f'American foreigners, to show off toys, papers or drawings they had brought. Later the kids and Americans formed two soccer teams. From the skills displayed by the children, the sailors figured that the French boys and girls were weaned with a milk bottle in one hand and a soccer ball in the other. The kids could only laugh at the Americans, clumsy attempts at ball handling. Whenever an Ameri- can did a worthy job, one of the children would give him a uhigh five to encourage him. The older kids took a breather on the sidelines by rotating the sailors and Marines through this uworld cup gamefl Perhaps the only sad moment of the day was when the kids were told they had to go back to school.

T! fb-pw y., 75: Miva ifmigm rw is Ha P ,S SW be USS Help ut Some Special rphan Casa do Gaiato, a home for 150 boys, was shaken out of its routine when it was 'finvaded by Marines and Sailors from USS FAIRFAX, USS NEWPORT, USS WHIDB EY ISLAND and USS SHREVEPORT during a recent port visit to Lisbon, Portugal. The combined assault was a tremendous success under the direction of LT Jack A. Galle, SHREVEPORT' s chaplain. This is the first time the Navy and Marine Corps team has worked at this home, which is modeled after Father Flanagan's 'fBoys Townw with boys from ages 4-18 years old. All the boys work I hour before school and 1 hour after school every day. The boys live on a farm where they grow their own vegetables, oranges and raise cattle. Everyone, even the youngest children, contribute to the daily chores, since the orphanage receives no money from the government. HAH handsi' are required to grow, prepare and serve nearly 500 meals a day. The Marines and Sailors from Mediterranean Am- phibious Ready Group CMARGJ 1-92 split wood, helped to irrigate the land, planted potatoes, picked fruit and spent a great deal of time with the children. What made this project unique is that this home shuns publicity. Many times the children are literally abandoned on the streets by their parents. Often the parents will re-adopt their children at age 13 since they can be used as laborers for Q... ll the family. lt is quite a cruel contrast to what we are accustomed to in the United States. The children loved having their picture taken with the Americans. The Sailors and Marines from USS SHREVEPORT, USS WHIDBEY ISLAND AND AS- SAULT CRAFT UNIT-2 could not say good bye. So, 55 of the eight year-olds and up were invited for a tour of the two ships and a sunset dinner cruise on the Landing Craft Utility CLCUJ 1653. The boat ride down the Tagus river included, USMC Meals Ready to Eat CMRE,sJ, fresh baked cookies and juice. For many of the kids this was their first time on a boat and for all it was the first time on an American Navy ship. Boatswain, s Mate Chief Phillip L. Toth, LCU- 1653 Craftmaster, stated, 'fThis type of community relations is just plain nice. I hope we get the chance to do more projects like this before retuming to the States. The cruise included special guests Captain R.L. Peterson CCommanding Officer, USS SHREVEPORTJ, LCDR Steve D. Rowland CExecutive OFFICER, USS SHREVE- PORTJ, LT Wes Sloat CChaplain, ComPhibRon SIXJ, LT Jack A. Galle CChaplain, USS SHREVEPORTJ and two members of the local Portugal Press. Of all the special guests that evening, the orphans from Casa do Gaiato were truly special in the eyes of all the Sailors and Marine volunteers. Story by LT Michael G.

These all volunteer enter- tainers made up of active duty personnel, dependents and civilian employees stationed at Navy Station Rota, Spain took time out of their busy schedules to welcome the Sailors and Marines of USS SHREVEPORT to Rota, Spain. Under the direction of Lisa Campbell, twenty mem- bers ofthe road show performed for a crowd of 400 fellow Americans. Lisa explained that they do rock-n-roll tunes, skits, country, broadway show tunes, golden oldies, a little rap and we bring smiles to the men and women who defend our country. 'elf only for an afternoon the crowd was carried back to the States, brought back good memories and overall, just outstandingj, according to DCCCSWD Richard F. Miller of USS SHREVEPORT's fire department. Many of the Sailors and Marines noted the choreography, production logistics and professional- ism displayed by the cast and crew. Kathy Horner and Geoffrey Shields ofthe road show cast stated f'Rota Little Theateri' is like a bi g happy family and is completely voluntary with everyone contributing .W Wiz 1,231- . 1 their time and talents to a fun and worthy cause. We have performed on ships, at local commands and in the sur- rounding cities. Our road show fee is an invitation and we usually are able to schedule a perfor- mance especially for the deployed troops. Rota Little Theater also per- forms community plays and is currently rehearsing for uGuys and Dollsv with Ulf only for an afternoon the crowd was carried back to the Statesj, their first show in mid-March. As the old show biz saying goes The show must go on each cast member often must rehearse and learn a variety of parts. On this leap year afternoon there f were plenty of smiles on the faces of Sailors and Marines of ComPhibRon SIX. 24 Marine Expeditionary Unit and USS SHREVEPORT.

The purpose of our visit was to participate in the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of IberLant Cas a NATO memberb. SK3 Sergio M.

Horvath, who speaks some Portuguese, describes his adventure: sight seeing in Lisbon C spelled Lisboa in Europej is always interesting due to the vast contrast in mixing the old architecture with the modern style. The sea going history seems to be the prevailing theme in the local area. Walking on the mosaic inlaid stone sidewalks is a treat in itself for the art lover. This stone work is patterned in waves, triangles, parabolic curves, french curves and many others designs including birds such as peacocks. The black and white stone creates a high contrast and has lasted over 500 years with everyday usage. Another striking feature of the city is the decorative tiles used extensively on apartment buildings, private homes and office buildings. Many of these tiles are custom hand painted ceramic sym- bolizing the purpose of the structure it I , ,K . . if Q Morning quarters on the Tagus river, Lisbon Portugal. or other special meaning to it, s owner. Lisbon is a picture postcard city from many street comers and from the top of most of the local hills. The shuttle train to Cascais, which is an old fish- ing village located 15 miles up the coast, adds, another dimension and contrast to central Portugal. Cascais, only two dollars CU.S.D Away by the shuttle train has become a popular tourist attraction and a nice place for souvenirs, outstanding seafood, ship- ping or even to catch a movie. Every- one is friendly and English can be heard in most places according to CWO3 Horvath. Lisbon and Cascais are located on the mouth of the Tagus river about half way up the Atlantic coast of Portugal. Lisbon in some ways re- sembles San Francisco, particularly with the golden suspension bridge that welcomes the ships to the Tagus river. All in all our visit was quiet, which is common for Portugal in the winter time and relaxed, which is the attitude year round in Portugal. story by LT Michael G. Pacheco French port welcomes U.S. ships Sailors and Marines from USS SHREVEPORT CLSD 125 and USS NEWPORT CLST 1 1793 attended numerous social gatherings during their one-week stay in Marseille, France. France-Etats-Unis played a key role in making the American port visit a memorable one. This French organization was formed following World War II. The common goals of the members is to thank the allied forces for the liberations of France. While in port, France-Etats-Unis hosted a home-hospitality program, sporting events, dance exhibitions, and a variety of luncheons and dinners.

Izmir, Turkey -- Sailors and Marine Corps personnel from USS SHREVEPORT QLPD 125 enjoyed a special Easter service in the ancient City of Pergamum located near Izmir, Turkey. The celebration was hosted by the United States Air Force Chapel Community of Turkey. These unique t'Ruins', date back several thousand years and Pergamum Cspelled Bergama in Turkishj is on e of the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelations on the Bible. The Easter service was held outdoors in the stone stadium and included some gentle Christian folk music with a non-denomination service.

LT Wes Sloat, Chaplain with ComPhibRon SIX staffembarked in USS SHREVEPORT delivered the Invocation with hearty enthusiasm from center stage, as this ancient stadium was founded long before electricity. The city ofPergamum includes several dwellings of living quarters, a stadium, a hospital and HHealin g tun- nels? Although ancient, the entire city did have running water and it, s hospital was one ofthe first spiritual healing structures. According to a local tour guide, in the flourishing days of Pergamum people would travel from as far as several thousand miles to be treated in the hospital. In those days all diseases, illnesses and pains were attributed to an unclean and unhealthy mind. Treat- ment included daily fasting, meditation and nightly walk- ing through the tunnels. The tunnels contained echoes of running water and voice windows Cin top of tunnelsj that locals could chant into as the patients walked and cleared their minds. In our modern society, Doctors are recogniz- ing this ancient connection between the physiology of a patient, importance of diet and proper rest in the treating patients and the body' s ability to combat illness. This unique hospital lies at the base of the Acropolis which sits on the top of the highest local mountain. This area was the Government sector and provided a great vantage point for it' s kingdom. These structures rival any ancient ruins and is so breath taking only the visitor can appreciate this monument to these past civilizations. If one ever gets the chance to visit Western Turkey. Pergamum and the Acropolis are a must see. If you are fortunate enough to visit on Easter Sunday, you will have an unbeatable combination of geology, Christianity, an- cient medicine and a predecessor to modern engineering.
