Af~:~r visiting the iehu|'ehes it
comes to mind that the Car(~inal

safety of the Amcrcian Embassy
since 1956.
Le'tving Hungary was a strange
process. Tile contents of our

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-

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. KLM,
a leally wcmderful airline, turned
the public address system over to

we had had a 29 hem' day and
most of us had slept npl)roximate-
ly three hours in the 55 since leav-
Ing Switzerland, but everyone
seemed fresh. 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.
