This was definitely my favorite experience of the trip, spending time at the Ermitage Castle. Actually, the castle was closed to visitors that day and so my friend and I walked up the hill and then around the lake. She filled my ears (and heart!) with stories of Parsival. It was magic.
It is amazing when stories live so strongly within someone else that, when shared, you are filled with the same feelings of love and awe.
