, 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

I think I've been to Gillette's Castle, once or twice in my life ( I really don't remember because it was like a very, very, very, very long time ago.)
