For the Love of Libera

 I have always had a passion for traveling the globe. In my late teens, I had the opportunity to travel with an organization called The University of the Seven Seas. I spent four months aboard a ship touring the world in my junior year of college. During that semester at sea, I learned about and visited over twenty important ports of call.
The Semester at Sea ship departed from New York City in the Fall of 1964. We immediately met an Atlantic hurricane at sea. It lasted three terrifying days. We sailed past the Rock of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea for our first port of call, docking at the Rock of Gibralter, Portugal. Spain, Italy, and Greece were on the docket. In Istanbul, the early Byzantine Christian church Hagia Sophia dominated the city. We stopped in Port Said to visit the Cairo bazaars and see Giza’s great pyramids. We swam in the Suez Canal, watching a US armada of ships on their way to Viet Nam. Malaysia, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Hawaii were other amazing destinations.
