On our way home from the aquarium, we stopped off to explore our neighborhood castle remains.
These steep stairs must have been the original stair stepper :)
This part of the wall is still quite intact!
This part, not so much!
The stairs continue up...
...and lead to this doorway through the wall.
In one area there is a nice view of our little village of Uruma.
And a good view of our tower.
The tower on the left veiled in blue is being renovated. Ours is two to the right.
I was impressed with all the Mother-in-laws Tongue growing wild!
Then, as the saying goes, "what goes up, must come down," so back down those steep steps we went.
The Agena Castle Site is right next to the Agena Bull Ring!
These bullfights are evidently not like most of us picture with the bullfighter and the red cape, these bullfights actually are two bulls locking horns until one of them "drops out." I think I'll have to see one to truly understand :) One thing about having a bullring (and some little farms) so close to us, we get that "fresh country air" smell occasionally to make us not miss home quite so much :-)
