Spotlight Pictures

CASTLES!  These wonderful buildings that were built hundreds of years before the important dates that we learn about in the history of the United States ever happened.  Some of these castles have fallen into disrepair; some of them are being maintained on the inside and out; and some of them are at least being maintained on the outside.  But how wonderful it is to drive past these castles and see them as part of the modern scenery.

Note: Sometimes we are unable to get good pictures due to cloudy weather or other reasons.  When you see the word postcard after a picture it means we bought a postcard and took a picture of that to show you the best possible view of a place or object.
