The opportunity to have an audience with the Pope seemed spur enough to some of the contingent. There were so many sights to see that no one could see every- thing. . .Saint Peter 's. . .Fountain of Trevi.. .the Colis eum. . . the Roman Forum. . . aqueducts. . . and so on.

As a first taste of Riviera liberty, San Remo was a joy to behold. Nestled beneath the surrounding grape-arbored hills, the city shone like a well cut j ewel when we first got a good glimpse of her through the low-lying Mediterranean mist. The narrow white b ea c he s and the long promonade gave us our first look at the much renowned bikini. The Russian Orthodox Church, the Municipal Casino, and the na r r ow bustling streets coupled with the friendliness of the people, made out short stay at San Remo a rare delight. Swim call was held for the first and last time during the deployment while we were at San Remo. Winter was fast ap- proaching and we wouldn't have the opportunity again. If Mr. Lowsley could have kept the p unt upright, he'd have been in much better shape. T ub e S Taylor showed his swimming acumen for the first time byassistinga floundering shipmate. We left San Remo regretfully and sailed off to seek more adventure to the east.
