The Castle in My Back Yard
In Florida, there are many wonderful things in back yards, but my back yard in France is very special because I have my own castle looking at me every day.
The castle in my backyard is very old. I love to imagine what happened in my castle so many years ago. It was built around the year 1500. That was about the time that Christopher Columbus discovered Amercia. There were no kings or queens that ever lived in this castle, but it was built by a very famous Duke from Italy. Dukes were really rich people but were not always royal like kings. The castle is on a cove on the Méditerranéen Sea. In the olden days, pirates used to attack the castle and the Duke used to let people hide inside the castle walls to protect them.
Many people have beautiful back yards but I still love what I see every day in my 600 year old castle in my back yard. Do any of you ever want to come visit it with me?
