Okay everyone. Here's a picture of the castle in my hometown in Germany, I took that picture when we visited in 2001. This is Schloss Weikersheim and my house was a 5 minute walk from it. There's a playground right next to it, seperated by a hedge, I used to play there as a child, and my Jared played there when we where there last.
See the tower behind it? My Dad climbed that tower to get a baby crow out of a nest so that he could raise it as a pet. At the time the royal family still lived in the castle. The queen sent someone to my Oma's house (the Oma that just passed away) to tell her that her oldest son was climbing the tower and was probably going to break his neck.
He got the crow, named it Jacob, he was very tame. The neighbor shot him one day because he thought that the crow might eat his corn.
So many memories in that picture. :)
