I forgot there are actual Castle tours!

I've seen documentaries on castles but I think it would put the history in a deeper perspective to actually see a castle.

got to save our money & research which castles to travel to.

I've been to Hearst Castle ;) , but it's not what comes to mind when I think "castle."

What was a learning moment for me was when I was in social studies back in Jr. High is that most of the images of castles I'd seen in movies/tv/media all of my life where not in England.

Of course Japanese castles are not what I think of either, but they meet the criteria I suppose (actually not sure what defines a "castle" -- a defensible place to live that has a lot of stone?). LOL

That looks like a castle alright! I'd imagine the hundreds of years old ones would be interesting just to learn about the solutions they came up with just for day to day stuff.

Thanks for the link! Yeah, it seems many things meet that criteria that we don't even name castles.
