I am having blog trouble or brain trouble or both. So if any of this stuff is repeated it is because I am computer illiterate. Here is the yellow sign I mentioned in the last entry.
This wall is full of archer windows. You get up to that level by climbing up the rocks where those dudes are standing.
A close up of an archer window. Can you just imagine a soldier sitting here shooting arrows through that small space?
This picture is worth clicking on to get a close up of the stonework right above my head. You can begin to imagine how nice it must have been once.
Walking along the edge of this collapsed room was nerve-wracking. That man in the distance is an old Turkish fellow who speaks good English. He walks around like a tour guide and gives his opinion of what is what. He told me he has walked to the castle every day for 27 years. He doesn't get paid, but he has a collection of old coins he'd be happy to sell you for $5 a piece. (OK, we bought 4.) He showed us a bunch of neat stuff we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. He would say, "Can you look at the window, please?" Or whatever it was he wanted us to look at. Kinda part of the Black Castle experience, I guess.
