Castle on the Hudson 2008-01-15 23:26:00 You always here about castles all over Europe, but what about here in the states? Well there is one we found built back in 1897 by a General Carroll whom was the son of a civil war General.The castle has 45 rooms with its tower standing 75 feet. This great castle is located off the Hudson
River in New York and is an attraction you do not want to miss out on. Its not everyday you get to see a castle up and close. Following General Carroll's death in 1916, his widow and children, Caramai, Arthur and Lauren, occupied the Castle
until 1940, when it was rented for a brief period to a local school. In 1981, the town of Tarrytown designated the Castle a historic landmark, protecting the outside structure from ever being changed.So instead of staying at any hotel if you decide to come and visit

after being gone for the last couple of years. However the difference this time is that I have come to get married and live here in Fortaleza, Brazil.The part of Fortaleza I am in is called Beira
Mar and is a popular tourist destination for both Brazilians, Europeans and Americans alike that come here year round. At night you can walk on the beach and feel the warm water hit your feet. This part of the city is popular and has been used in countless music songs both Brazilian and foreign.I highly suggest if you plan on visiting any part of Brazil is to rent a flat if you are planning to stay a while. A flat will usually run in the Beira Mar area in the neighborhood of $R1200 to $1500 Reis which is about US$687- US$860 per month from the time I write this post
