This weekend we took another trip to Novosibirsk via the Trans-Siberian. This time it was a CES Conference with all the Seminary and Institute teachers and CES Missionaries in the mission. The train over was a little older than the last time but had some beautiful ornate woodwork in the private sleeping compartments (Kupe's).
We traveled to Novosibirsk on Friday, stayed at a wonderful Hilton Doubletree hotel Friday night, had a inspiring conference on Saturday and came home on Saturday night. Arrived in Krasnoyarsk at about 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning (12 hour train ride) and had just enough time to shower, change clothes and be about 45 minutes late for church. I have included some photos.

| Notice the ornate woodwork in our private sleeping compartment. This is an indication that this is a much older train. |

| More "Dachas" along the way. |

| Our room at the Hilton Doubletree. This is a little different than our usual accommodations. Doesn't this missionary look great! This is just after a 12 hour train ride from Krasnoyarsk. |

| More conference. The man standing and the woman facing us 6 seats down from him are our Seminary and Institute teachers in Krasnoyarsk. |
I'm envious of your train ride and your breakfast! Shoot--I've envious of your whole mission experience. :)
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the dachas remind me of paintings I've loved by Russian artists.:-)
