Maricaibo was the second port of call in our itinerary, Here we found something slightly different than that which is normally found when we pull into a port. Instead of the usual hustle and bustle of people,the noise ofthe shops and crowded streets, there was a quiet and subdued air. Most all of the shops, restaurants, and business places were closed in observance of the Easter Holidays. Maricaibo is of very little historical importance but has the distinction of being the hut of Venezuela oil pro- ducers. In the city itself there are many beautiful and color- ful churches that may be visited along with many parks. For recreational type entertainment the crew was in- vited to the Officer's Club with its fine pool and bar. During our stay We had the distinction of being visited by the American Vice Consulate and his family. Maricaibo proved to be a relaxing break in the routine. , PSE. ,.. S-'JS - ,.. 2- .
