We finally landed in Krasnoyarsk. This large city in Siberia was where I first stepped foot inside Russia. It was quite handy that Victor, our tour manager, was fluent in Russian because few, if any, locals spoke English. Let's face it - there's not that much foreign tourism in the region. To drive this point home: when checking into our hotel the woman behind the desk, upon discovering we were from the U.S., asked Victor, "aren't we enemies?"
