I'd like the thank the folks at LifeInsuranceQuotes-Online.org for the opportunity to be a contributing SEO copywriter. If you're American, a senior and looking for term or whole life insurance you should check out an online quote site I just wrote and article... http://lifeinsurancequotes-online.org/life-in...

The wall I took this photo from is the same one Vlad's wife, the princess, threw herself off of. She was convinced, as was Vlad, that the citadel would be overrun. She feared being ravaged by the hordes of enemy troops and then being sold into slavery, so chose to kill herself.

To give you an idea of the elevation from the valley to the walls of Poienari Citadel, I climbed up from the road, which as can be seen from this view, is pretty much straight up. The building with the red roof, by the bend in the road, is said to be the staging area for the invading Turkish army to attack through the valley, then up the mountain.

One of the walls that faced enemies who finally managed to climb to the top. Notice there is nowhere to stand. The walls of the fortress were built out to the very edge all the way around the summit.

Poienari Citadel was the true castle of Vlad The Impaler, aka Dracula, built in 1459 by Turkish prisoners who were to die by impalement if they were unfortunate enough to not die while working as slave labor.

This is the view looking up to Poienari Citadel, the true castle built by Vlad the Impaler, aka Dracula. Believe it or not, this is the easiest route to the castle for would be invaders, as well as tourists.

Doing a major lifestyle overhaul. Too much to tell here, so I created a blog page at http://plutocrazy.info/fall-ba...

New here. Bear with me while I figure it all out.

Moving my office 8 blocks but it may as well be 800 kilometers it is such a hassle. Way better digs though, a move up that is long overdue.

Summer seems to have arrived in southern Alberta... finally.
