Mary Goheen'a 6.0(10 mile
frnin trip across Siberia was a
most InlerrstinR and exciting
adventure. Kho told me a few
dnvs after her return home to
Heppner late on January 10
after beinR out seeing unusual
parts of this planet since
December 17.
Mary had been in Russia
nine years ago, and she re
marked that she noted consid
erable change there now, She
saw many new buildings, the
people were more open and
friendly, there were many
more automobiles now. She
particularly noted that the
women were better dressed,
that they seemed slimmer and
more style conscious, every
where. She says that all the
women wore skirts or dresses
- no trousers.
Quickly reviewing her day-by-day
adventure, she re
counts that on December 17
she moved from Heppner
through Pendleton and Port
land to Seattle, Wash. The
next two days she flew
through Copenhagen to Hel
sinki where she had an over
night at the Intercontinental
Hotel and did a little shopping.
On December 20, she had an
evening flight to Leningrad
where she spent three days
and nights at the new Hotel
Pribaltiyskaya on the Gulf of
Finland. There the American
travelers were shown the
city's great buildings,
squares, bridges, the large
ethnic museum which dis
plays much from the many
different Soviet provinces,
and the Peter the Great monu
ment On December 22 the group
wps taken by bus to nearby
Pushkin (formerly called
'Tsar's Village" but renamed
after Russia's renowned
poet). There are many royal
palaces there. Two they enjoy
ed visiting were the Peter the
Third's Palace, built by Cath
erine the Great, and Cath
erine's Summer Palace. They
also saw St. Issac's Cathed
ral: a magnificent building
which the Germans shelled
and where the damage done is

at the war memorial. After
dinner entertainment included
music by four musicians on
accordians and bclalaikas and
a male singer.
The following day they were
taken to Lake Baikal, the
world's largest and deepest
fresh water (which they were
told could hold the entire
Baltic Sea). At the museum
there they saw varieties of
fish, animals, and plants in
digenous to the area. That
evening, along with a large
local crowd, they attended a
circus where performances
were in one large ring in a
bowl like setting. The next day
they had Troika rides around
the area and another big
bonfire picnic.

"(Epiphany), which is the big
holiday for so much of the
world, there was a special
dinner and costume party on
the train. On January 7 they
reached Khabarovak, the
coldest place they stopped,
where it reaches 40 degrees
below zero. There they met
those who were going west to
Moscow, among whom was a
friend of La Verne Van Mar
ter's. They had a city tour,
visited the War Memorial, the
Winter Festival Park and
watched ice fishing in the
frozen Amur River. They ,
found the natural history there
was huge and interesting, they
witnessed two weddings in the
Wedding Palace and saw
more interesting wooden
houses. They had time to shop
in a busy department store
and in the Beriozka Shop.
On the morning of January

Japan, was delayed and they .

ing express train they reached
Tokyo in 20 minutes where
they were taken to the Hilton
Hotel for an elaborate fare
welt dinner and to spend their
last night of touring. .
On January 10 after a
leisurely breakfast and group
farewells, most of the group
flew to Washington State (nine
of the 69 had opted for a tour of
Mongolia and had not come to
Japan.) From Washington
Mary flew to Portland where
she learned no planes were
going to Pendleton that day.
So she was flown back to
Seattle and then to Pasco
where her sister, Irene An
horn, met her and brought her
home. She notes that getting
from Seattle to Heppner took
longer than coming from
Tokyo to Seattle.
Mary took many pictures of
this latest adventure and after
they are printed and organiz
ed she will share her slides
with friends here.
