This was not a result of you being stationed there, was it?

Norman back in the late 50's was a sleepy little college town with nothing for a Sailor to get into. Okie City was where the action was. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Navy being there because the year after I left the Base was closed. I think the illegal sales of booze continued for years after the Navy was gone.

Edfu

Edfu is an Egyptian city, located on the west bank of the Nile River between Esna and Aswan, with a population of approximately sixty thousand people. Edfu is the site of the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus and an ancient settlement, Tell Edfu. About 5 km (3 miles) north of Edfu are remains of ancient pyramids.

Edfu Temple of Horus:

The town is known for the major Ptolemaic temple, built between 237 BCE and 57 BCE, into the reign of Cleopatra VII. Of all the temple remains in Egypt, the Temple of Horus at Edfu is the most completely preserved. Built from sandstone blocks, the huge Ptolemaic temple was constructed over the site of a smaller New Kingdom temple, oriented east to west, facing towards the river. The later structure faces north to south and leaves the ruined remains of the older temple pylon to be seen on the east side of the first court.

Been to Edfu. The people are so nice here, they are welcoming yet not invasive and very helpful. It's much better then Luxor!

Unst is one of the North Isles of the Shetland Islands, Scotland. It is the northernmost of the inhabited British Isles and is the third largest island in Shetland after the Mainland and Yell. It has an area of 46 square miles.

The island lays claims to many "most northerly" UK titles: the tiny settlement of Skaw in the north-east of the island is the northernmost settlement in the UK; the Muckle Flugga lighthouse, just off the far north of Unst, was opened in 1858 and is the most northerly lighthouse in the UK, situated close to Out Stack, the most northerly rock in the UK.

Athen, one of the world's oldest cities its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. The Greek capital has a population of 745,514 (in 2001), and a land area of 39 km2

I spent a lot of time in Athens at Various times while in the NAVY back in the
late 50's. I came to love the city and the people a lot. I guess of all the Mediterranean countries I like Greece the best. I marveled at the written language while there. In the short distance from Piraeus, where the ship was, to Athens you would see the Greek spelling of "Athens" in about 10 different dialects.
I never adjusted to Greek wine while I was there. It had a strong taste of PINE NEEDLES. I did like their Ouso liquor though, it was potent stuff.

Davenport is also the starting point for their Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI). Nice little town.

Trapani, Italy

I don't think we've gone to Italy, yet! I've been to Italy, but not here.
Trapani (Sicilian: Tràpani) is a city on the west coast of Sicily in Italy. It is the capital of the Province of Trapani. Founded by Elymians, the city is still an important fishing port and the main gateway to the nearby Egadi Islands.

Two ancient legends tell of mythical origins for the city. In the first legend, Trapani stemmed from the sickle which fell from the hands of the goddess Demeter while she was seeking for her daughter Persephone, who had been kidnapped by Hades. The second myth features Saturn, god of the sky, who eviscerated his father Cronus with a sickle which, falling into the sea, created the city. In ancient times Saturn was the god-protector of Trapani. Today Saturn's statue stands in a piazza in the centre of the city.

I never adjusted to Greek wine while I was there. It had a strong taste of PINE NEEDLES.

I just love a glass of retsina while watching a wonderful Greek sunset. The first sniff may well put you in mind of some kind of kitchen cleaning fluid, but somhow it tastes OK there.

Still trying to think of a city beginning with I.
