Hi Ringo!
I used to spend a few Summers in Transylvania and I visited the castle that inspired the author of Dracula. If I can dig through my old photos, I'll try to send a pic. The castle is located in a village called Bran. Its a very poor area and the locals really play up the vampire legend for tourism purposes. There really was a person whom the Dracula legend was based on, but he never lived there. Actually, the true history was much more frightening to me than the made-up story.
