Orava Castle/ Oravsky Hrad
 |
| Each Chair had an important symbol carved into them |
 |
| Castles have the best views of their surroundings |
 |
| Orava |
 |
| My family and I didn't do the whole tour but we saw most of it which ended up being over 660 stairs |
 |
| A very young child's shoes. |
 |
| There was a room full of different animals, I forgot the exact name of this one but it had two heads! |
 |
| I've seen crosses like this and small buildings all around Slovakia, I've even seen a man praying at one before. |
 |
| A well of luck&wishes or bad luck&nightmares if you drop anything but money in it. |
 |
| Who knew a crack in the wall could lead to beautiful things? |
 |
| This area was roped off but a man was inn there so I went in. |
 |
| Mountains every where you look. |
 |
| When I'm older and rich I'll build my own castle (probably not) |
Beautiful pictures. Was this castle close to your town?

ReplyDeleteHey Emani! Great photos! We're all proud to have you representing South High, Salem, Oregon, and the United States in your new locale. Keep your chin up, and know we're cheering for you.
ReplyDeleteBTW, My dad happens to be an enthusiastic genealogist. If your family doesn't know much about your ancestors, I might be able to have him do some sleuthing. :)
