Our own German Unification Day

Today was a holiday in Germany. Katy was gone on a school trip and Bethany was busy with her Swiss charges, so Howard and I went on a nice, long drive into the Jura mountains in Switzerland, about an hour and a half from here. It was wonderful to have a day just to ourselves after Howard's intense trip to Brazil.




Our plan was to spend some time in the medieval town of Saint-Ursanne. It was quaint and authentic.




The crypt under the church dated from the 11th century.












We both enjoyed an amazingly wonderful bowl of cream of carrot soup for lunch.
Such a perfect day.
