The rain has returned and we were hoping that no games would cancel because of it. Our game was cancelled last week due to snow in Zug and I think the boys were anxious to play. We drove up to Chur, which was about a 1 hour 45 drive throught the San Bernadino Pass. Although the sky was heavy and dark, the clouds were high enough to get good views of the mountains and valleys. This is really a beautiful mountain pass - which I've never seen on a clear day. On the south side of the pass in Mesocco, there is a castle up on a rock in the middle of the valley - which is usually the place for a castle! I took a quick picture from the car - sorry it's not that great of a picture.
As we approached Chur, the sun started peaking out, but also, to our surprise, the stadium where we were playing had stands with a cover over them, so even if it rained we could stay dry watching. Of course, because we had the cover and I brought as much rain gear as possible, the sun stayed out all afternoon! I'll take the sun anyway. It was a great game against the Calanda Broncos, in which we scored first on the opening kickoff. We won the game 34-13! Yeah! And once again, a beautiful field surrounded by beautiful mountains. Hard to get tired of this!
And I forgot to mention.... yesterday we stopped at the grocery store and I saw another interesting product I thought I'd share with you all. Picture is below. :-)

| Ruined Castello di Misox (748 m/2,453ft), the ancestral castle of the Counts Sax von Misox, which was purchased by the Trivulzi family of Milan in 1483, destroyed by the people of Grisons in 1526 and restored by Swiss students in 1922- 26 (magnificent view of the deep trough of the Val Mesocco).
