there is a small town (among many, i presume) that straddles the usa-canada
border. it is called estcourt station. the border actually runs through a a
number of houses. the following is a url that shows what "life on the line"
is like in this town.

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Introduction


Hello, all members of BoundaryGroup. I'd like to introduce myself:
Peter Hering, residing in a little Copenhagen suburb: Olstykke.
I've always been mad about borders, especially tripoints. Up to now, nobody
has shown any interest in my "hobby", on the contrary, my trips to borders
all across the world have caused suspicion about my mental health (that's
what some of my family members say - well, I still love them anyway..)
I have a nice collection of photographs from many borders and tripoints.
Unfortunately, I do not - yet - have a scanner, so I can submit these photos
to
the group.
Anyhow, I do promise this: very soon after my return from Holland/Belgium
(yes,
I shall revisit Baarle , the township divided into a Dutch and a Belgian
part..)
I'll put my (last) money into a scanner...
For the next two weeks, soccer will be my main interest, sorry...! I'd like
to draw your attention to a place called La Cure on the Swiss/French border.
For all border freaks it must be the ultimate dream spending a night in the
only hotel: Hotel Franco-Suisse. This building is partly in France, partly
in Switzerland and the actual border divides a double room. Placing the
double bed in the right position,
you could have your wife sleeping in CH and yourself in France...- that's
what I tried last year .. an unforgettable experience..
By for now, I'll be back in the beginning of July..
Regards to all of you
Peter Hering
