Berry Beautiful day

August 23, 2009

Yesterday, we went looking for blackberries. We found them in the forest above our village but we must wait a few more weeks until the berries are ripe. We did find some red berries but didn’t know if we could eat them or not. We decided to leave them rather than risk it. I really [...]

The little red train of the Jura

July 28, 2009

I took this photo in December 2008. I talked to my mother tonight on the phone. She told me that she had seen our little red train on television. There was a program on the other night about Swiss train lines and she happened to catch the Jura line. It was so nice that she [...]

Les Médiévales de St-Ursanne

July 15, 2009

This is my favorite photo out of all the photos that I took that day. All of the modern signs were covered up so that the illusion of walking around in the medieval days was preserved. My girls finally got their princess hats! Vilay’s photo. Making paper. Vilay’s photo. Washing clothes in the village fountain. [...]

Horse country – Jura, Switzerland

June 14, 2009

There is a wild west theme throughout the Jura that I find amusing. Yet, there are times I wonder if I am not truly living in the west rather than Switzerland. We were almost to our village when we were passed by a man riding a horse. My six year old started giggling. She asked [...]

Etang de la Gruère

May 19, 2009

We ended our four hour walk last Sunday at the Etang de la Gruère near Saignelégier.   The Gruère pond is a perfect place to spend two or three hours.  I want to go back when the flowers are in bloom.  The last time we were there it was two years ago and in the [...]

Jura, je t’aime

May 17, 2009

I love the Jura. These are photos from our walk today. I have so many more that I will share over this week. The mountains are a sea of brightly dressed Dandelions. I don’t know how many times I looked at my husband and told him that I can’t believe that we are lucky enough [...]
