I enjoyed out port isits to France. Marseille is a grittier town, not nearly as nice as Nice or Cannes, (duh). I did see a Picasso exhibit at a museum there though. There were ahem, *Muslim * parts of town where we were told to stay away from.
Marseille has a long history of organized crime.
Ever visit Haifa, Israel, the US’s 6th Fleet Port of Call during those years?
Thanks for your posts, first-hand observations and your service. Thread/posts BUMP!
