St. Ursanne

Todd had today off after getting home late last night after his away game. Unfortunately, they lost their game by twelve points. They played Vacallo, who were the returning Swiss/Swiss Cup Champions from previous years. They put up a good fight! Boncourt was up by 1 with twelve to play, but unfortunately they ended up losing the game. They will have a week of practice, and then they will play Massango at home on Saturday.

Since we had a spare minute, Todd and I went to visit St. Ursanne, a small town near Porrentruy. This is just one of the many quaint little towns in our areas. There is a river going through it; Todd and I had a peaceful cup of coffee next to it. St. Ursanne is a really historic town, and it is one of the only medical towns with it's town gates still intact. We saw a beautifully well-preserved Romanesque-Gothic Collegiale church. It was mysteriously gorgeous, and it had a creepy crypt in the basement!

We went on a few short hikes surrounding the city. We saw a really neat church that was set up high in the hills. We also found a hobbit door! I posted the pic for you, Ann. Our trip wore us out, so we came home and proceeded to eat a brick of cheese, roll of sausage, and package of crackers. : )
