...history. As I fly over Germany and Switzerland I catch a glimpse of the Swiss Alps above the clouds for the first time in my life and I wish that you were all hear to witness it with me. They are beautiful and it is hard to take my eyes off of them. When I do, I look down and I view a BIG WHITE castle that I know both Alex and Ava would be intrigued with. I vow to return soon with all of you. 

...dare to throw a glance. They might even stay there until sky gets clearer. Because we can't really stop admiring things that scare us. Drop. Drop. Drop. A wet attic of one tower in the North of the castle. Never ever imagined yourself in similar situation? Try to. What can be better than finding a hidden treasure, or, if you get more lucky, a ghost? There's hidden staircase, which leads you to enormous...

Today we went to Hikone to visit the Hikone-jo castle. According to Lonely Planet Hikone-jo is one of the finest remaining Japanese castles. I don't know if that's true, it didn't really seem *that* picturesque... OTOH, comparing it to other recent sites we've seen may not be entirely fair. It looked cool enough. Getting in you had to take your shoes off, so Richard opted out of doing that. It seems...

I just got back this week from Disneyland, so you can be expecting a lot of photos! I had such a great time; I never like coming home. Canada is effing cold! I only could bring my Rebel because my 40D...shots because the auto-focus was too slow) and how limited the kit lens was. What, I can only zoom to 55mm?? Painful! And ohhh the grain at high ISOs. Now I have my love back in my hands :)

Today I went with dad and Aunty Betty to Ludlow so I could actually take some pics and have a day out and stuff :3 It was a nice day, sunny but not very warm, the chill is there waiting to take over...see how big it was and she caught me ;c Jen would've been very afraid XD After our wanderings it was already 3.30ish and so we went home and I fell asleep XD Work tonight and all that.

В Ригу каждый день с Витебского вокзала ходит фирменный поезд «Балтия». Вечером уезжает и утром приезжает. Поезд латвийский, судя по вагонам, но бригада, кажется, вся русская. Вообще, с русским языком...и был восстановлен уже во второй половине XX века. В общем, хорошо видно, что замок, фактически, построен заново. Теперь осталась Литва — Вильно, Тракай и  что-нибудь еще. Но это уже в следующий сезон

Last night I dreamed that I was a princess in a castle.  I was about twelve years old with very long brown hair, and I was wearing a long pink dress with yellow details.  I was wandering through an old part of the castle when I came across a sealed off door that looked like it hadn't been touched for years.  I managed to prise it open and found myself in a nursery.  The room was large and full of old...

...and broiled chicken and gigantic shrimp and salad and soup and veggies and just... amazing amounts of food. And chestnut cake which is amazing. And after lunch we decided to all go down to Obi Castle Ruins. Now Obi isn't technically large enough to be called a "castle" because it was a really tiny little kingdom in the Meiji Era, but it's still packed with historical goodness. Kyoko-san...

Dilemma: I am toying the idea of going to the Haunted Castle whilest I am paying pilgrimmage to see my Tabby La Ruex over the rainbow bridge this weekend. Naturally, my Muskogeean mates from my prior residences of the home stomping grounds (Alesha, Janel, Aryn, etc) will want to accompany me....however, there is a glitch...If it takes a village to raise a child, then this villager is voting that...
