Tile contents of our bus ~rere literally torn apart Guards searched inside, undetmeath and in our luggage to be sure we weren't carrying anything or anybody ex- tra. They also broke our money into such small denominations that no one would change it. Yugoslavia has much more free- dora since they are independent of Moscow. It was wal'm when we were there and we s\valn ill a large river behind the dormi- tories of the University of Yagreb where we stayed. Italy was the last countl~ where we visited. In Venice we took a gondola ride. We drove through Florence to Rena. We visited the Vatican. A speak- er told us about the Ecumenical Council. We also learned that the Vatican had an agreement with the United States. It stated that Iwe would not bomb churches. Therefme, the Germans knew they were safe there. They directed op- erations from churches acid re- noved much art work. From Milan we drove through :he Alps to Basel, Switzerland. Many people said that the country reminded us of Chinook Pass. On our last day in Europe we drove to Achen, Holland. A larger strug- gle in redistributing our over- weight luggage followed. People could be met in the halls giving away many things. Many girls solved the problem by staggering on the bus with purses weighing 15 and 20 pounds. We came to the same gate at Amsterdam's Schipol Airport as tile day we arrived. Saying "good- bye" to our courier and driver was hard. "\ Spokane and Seattle rejoined us for our flight home. 'rhere were 119 of us in Tourist Class.

We were sustained by the excitement and confusion around us. We visited the"Fair" and went sightseeing with entlmsiamn al- though our thoughts were home- ward bound. Friday, July 31 we boarded our plane for home. All watches were set for Pacific Daylight time. It was tlle longest ride of the trip. As we came into Washington it was raining. We all agreed it was fitting. The state looked good. It's the mo~t bimutiful part of the country. We literally charged up the ramp to meet our families. Then we waited patiently while a man took our picture. At last, home! Looking back it seems so unreal so like a dream. We'll always re- naember it.-All of us are thankful we are .Americans, but we 'realize we have mucll to learn from oth- ers. Together we can build a better world fer all.
