On a brighter note we had a fine time in Minneapolis, and the highlight of that was visiting the Minneapolis Petanque Club. We were welcomed with open arms, as Don and Don introduced us to their piste. A lovely spot on the edge of Beltrami Park home to half a dozen unused Bocce courts; Which was a surprisingly pleasant surface to play on, although with the resent rain and the underlying clay, made it easy to pock mark. A few more Minnesotan club members turned up and laura stepped out to be replaced by her bother Matt (future Bruce in the making). So we had enough time for one game of triples, then Matt and I took on the Don's for two games of doubles. And fun was had by all on that humid day between threats of tornadoes and intence thunder storms.Don Holzschuh was kind enough to give us all Club caps and as Brooklyn Boule has yet to produce theirs, A bottle of RICARD was offered in return. So many thanks to you Don and fellow Mid-West Boulistes, for showing us a good time and warm welcom. We shall be back..........
