rRing ring ..... what you guys doing tonight ..... groan . . . . . nothing really. . . _ _ lets go Mexrcan' SO off to another night Of Tortillas, tequilla and lrieestos neiiros ltried negroesl and inevitably Cobblestones. And we came here for a holiday? To record this holiday chronologically would test even the keenest reader, and also the honesty if not the memory of the author. So let us just look at some of the impressions and episodes, not all mind you, just some. Now we have touched on the glamorous exterior of particularly PBPCC, but wherever one turned in the fastest {or was it the second fastest} growing State in the United States one saw evidence of wealth and progress. Wealth and progress for those who wanted it and worked for it. It will be clear that we were moving in a rarefied atmosphere, totally spoilt by all that went on around us and was offered to us. But for all that, there was this feeling of being in a land of opportunity, a land where if you wanted to do something, well, all you had to do was go and do it, where fortunes could be made, or of course, lost. There was a very open approach to life and to people. It was natural for complete strangers to introduce tl'remselves, be friendly and express regret at our departure. In short we were made to feel completely welcome, to their houses, to the Club and to America. West Patm Beach is something else again, with Ocean Boulevard lined with the Atlantic Ocean on one side. a row of mansions owned by the likes of Yoko Ono on the other. These were on a narrow strip of land separated from the mainland by an inland sea. We recommend Chuck and Harold‘s both for the Sense of humour of it's staff, its cocktails and for its food. We can also warn you now that the Post Office is not 50 yards from Breakers l—totel. Dr Carrol and Gamma Bernard, our hosts, for one evening in their lovely house. not only gave us a party, but gave us each a picture, and then gave the “young ones‘ an airbourne tour of the area in their own aircraft. Fortunately they were not airsick as they had been seasick the day before when we lried our hand at sailfishing THE QTI lr'lZTH ROYAL LANCERS REGIMENTM .JDUHNAI Some posed for the cameras more than others.
