Highlights from Bible Land Tour
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Mar
tin. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Nelson
and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd How
ton recently returned from a
3 weeks tour of the Bible
Lands and Europe. The tour
was led by Dr. A. J. Buttrey,
former conference minister of
the United Church of Christ,
Portland. There were 42 people
In the group and one was Mrs.
Allle Albortson, who taught the
3rd grade in the lone school
system in 1958 and 1959. She
now lives atthe Capital Manor
in Salem. The tour consisted of
visiting 9 countries, se v e n
were Bible Lands of historical
significance.
The group left Portland on
April 12 and flew to New York,
where they changed planes to
fly to Amsterdam, Holland.
They had a long day as they
gained 9 hours due to time
changes. Following a short
tour by boat through the can
als, of Amsterdam, they flew
over the Alps to Athens,
Greece. Easter Is a week later
than in the states, and people
were very busy doing their
Easter shopping in the areas.
After sightseeing In Athens,
including the Acropolis, they
flew on to Corinth, to visit the
Temple of Apollo and the Ro
man ruins containing the plat
form from which Paul preach
ed. Here they were introduced
to the street peddlers selling
everything, and seemed to en
counter more of them along
the tour. Corinth has narrow
streets and sidewalks but the
people are well dressed and
very progressive.
See the Pyramids
They then flew to Cairo,
Egypt arriving late at night.
Next morning they visited the
great Pyramids of Giza and the
Sphinx, going by camel if they
wished. They also visited the
Egyptian Museum, which con
tained the King Tut's treas
ures and personal belongings.
They visited the Citadel and
the Mohammed All Mosque,
and a tour of Memphis up the
Nile where they had a boat
ride, and a bus ride through
the valley. They visited the
cave where the Holy Family
stayed when they fled Bethle
hem and came to Egypt be
cause of the killing of boy
babies. The Inter national
Swimming meet was being
held during their stay and
they could watch It from their
hotel rooms. The trip to Luxor
was cancelled because of the
uncertainty of getting back.
Due to the war the group was
guarded at all times and. mov
ed only in a group. Sandbags
were everywhere in case of
bombings.
Next they went in Beirut,
where they visited the city of
pagan god, Baal and the Tem
ple of Jupiter, Bacchus and
Venus. They took a side trip
to Damascus, where they en
countered the damage of the
recent flood and had to detour
to the Syrian border to reach
Damascus. Here they saw more
