What an awesome Spring Break

Well, where do I begin? We are having a fabulous Spring Break from school, and it's not over yet. Today's snap is from atop Barka Castle. It's about 800 years old and has been restored.

" The vast and rambling Barka Castle is 800 years old and was originally built for Imam Ahmed bin Said. It was fully restored in 1984. Entrance to the fort is free and though there is no guide, you can spend a fascinating two hours wandering around the fort's towers, prisons and prayer rooms. The towers offer excellent views of the surrounding area and out to sea."

But it was awesome, so very much worth pulling off the beaten path to see.

Peace.
