ones. but what we did enjoy
was the drive along the beau-
tiful beach for miles – ???
to a point where we saw
a beautiful stone castle
being erected in a prominent
experience???
Returned by way of the
wealthy residential section
seeing the magnificent homes
beautiful gardens – and
large and attractive hotels
These were the greatest surprise
after what we had seen before –
The steamer loaded much tin
here – in bars weighing 100 lbs.
and valued at $80 each.
In the evening played bridge
with the Firestones – the
last games as they are leaving
the steamer before we sail.
The ladies won again.
