If you want to sleep in a castle, you've gotta climb the stairs!

This is about as up to the minute blog post as you can get. Carrie and I finally have a hotel with internet so I could post this shot of the two of us in front of the castle that we are staying in for the night.

Yes, it's a real castle. Just lying around, not needed by any royalty I guess, so now it's a hotel. See the light in the upper left? The window below is our room, and the window next to the light in the turret is our "office". We have a desk in the turret tower. I know!!!!

As far as the stair climb goes.... funny thing... did you know that they don't have "lifts" in old castles? Go figure! This means lots of flights of stairs. If you forget something in the car, suddenly that thing really isn't that important. Especially since it isn't only the castles that don't have elevators. Hmn... pretty sure we haven't been on an elevator since we arrived in Britain twelve days ago, and we have been lot's of high places (oh my aching thighs... and glutes.... my knees... my hip....)
