replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 A2: the Chateau de Mareuil is fascinating. It’s a private home, is crumbling and is super dramatic. A modest castle by French standards, it belonged to a wealthy land owner. I love it cos it’s not a fairytale! #TRLT

A2 This is in the former GDR & was in ruins until 1993. Finished in 2013. It had UNESCO World Heritage status for its cross-border cultural landscape. One can walk through its park from Germany to Poland.
It is fascinating to experience up close how far Europe has come. #TRLT

A2. The only forts nearby in Idaho are now Indian Casinos. However, there is Minidoka National Historic Site, which is a former Japanese internment camp. Definitely fascinating and tragically sad. #TRLT

@HHLifestyleTrav @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 I always imagine the upkeep and the utility bills on castles and manors would be immense.
It's like thatched roofs. Look great. Terrible admin. #trlt

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 Pazo de Castrelos (kind of a palace) belonged to a wealth family in Vigo. As there was no heir, they donated it to the city. The conditions were to keep the surname of the family: Quiñones de León, to be allocated as a museum, and to never be in private hands. #TRLT

A3: The Golden Gate Bridge was built over Fort Point. Most bridge visitors stick to the main viewpoints, but this is my favorite spot to see it #TRLT #SanFrancisco

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 Exactly! This one definitely looks like it is too expensive to run! People open their french chateau homes to the public a few times a year in order to get govt funding ;-) #TRLT

A2: A nearby Fort that's history fascinates me is Fort Langley; known as the birthplace of British Columbia, Canada. 🍁
Built in 1827, as a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading post, on the Fraser River, it was once part of a trade route for the British Empire.

A3: Remains of Duntulm Castle on Skye, originally Iron Age, then fortified by the Norse rulers of Skye and finally a 14th-century creation of the Macleods. There are 3 ghosts: a murderer, a clan chief and a nursemaid. We don't know if there's a haunting rota! #RTWBarefoot #TRLT
