One of the most challenging blogs I’ve wanted to share with you from our world trip so far is this one. Romania has stolen my heart, and I am simply in love with the diversity, beauty, and splendor that unfolded before me, over these past weeks. I have about 200 photographs I could load up […]

It is a cold crisp winter’s afternoon when we visit Bran Castle. The pond below is frozen in a crisp sheet of ice. As we wander up the hill, we hear this castle is for sale. Want to buy a Castle for 80 million dollars? This looming castle is a legend, said to be Dracula’s Castle, […]
