Definitely The Destination of a Lifetime!!!
(and I have been to quite a few beautiful places!).
Perched atop dramatic green mountains...WOW!!!
Imagine a place meant for a Lord of the Rings movie--mystical and
magical...yet...real!
Incredibly steep mountains rising 2000 meters from the raging river
below...grabbing at the white cotton puff clouds that attempt to pass
by...
Green Green Green everywhere--dark green vegetation clinging to the
steep
mountain slopes...and lush bright green of the agricultural terraces
and
centrall courtyard that characterize the citadel itself.
Stones everywhere too! Gray--light gray stones that sometimes are
larger
than a man...and...fitted together with amazing precision with hardly a
gap
betwween stones to be found!
Everywhere you look--amazing views! And...in the myriad of passageways
you
wander through...occasionally, a Llama will appear out of nowherre!
Magical...Beautiful...Amazing!!!
Go there someday soon...if you havenīt already!
Paul
p.s. NO camera (stolent in Romania--in January)...so...no pictures so
far...crazy huh!
