Over the weekend I went with my family to King Leopald the 2nd (I think that's his name.) But anyways This guy was a Braveren King and he is best know for building 3 castles and spent all of the peoples money. So no one really liked him! Anyways he is the guy that made the original Walt Disney Cinderella Castle. But that was not the one we went to. We went to one and it was just a single person castle! actually it was big! but still they insisted that he was the only person that lived there! He didn't really like people and never really had visitors to his house. He was NEVER married and had no children! I think this man even though a king had a sad life! they say that his brother was clinically insane and even though never properly tested some think that he was slightly crazy himself! at the end of his life he committed suicide. i think that was kind of sad! he passed at the age of 40 and took his doctor with him on his way out! this was a crazy story! while walking through his home though it was insane! it was beautiful and for my i think my favorite room was the mirror room! he made a room and filled it with mirrors. the tour guide said that he made it so that he could live his life though fantasy! Plus the way he lived his days was he would get up at 5pm and go to sleep at 8am. so cant you just imagine a room full of candles and mirrors! sounds like a fantasy to me! :D
The castle

Also in front of the castle! The fountain would spray every hour on the hour!
SO BEAUTIFUL! to wake up in the morning to see this! crazy huh?
The people are bring washed with fish. and the fish are squirting water out of there mouths... i thought it was an interesting choice of a fountain creation.
Seriously so beautiful! and the cute little cherubs to go along with it!
