L is for Loveland Castle in Ohio, USA

In my post for letter "G", I mentioned that I am traveling to Sweden for training. Another country where I am supposed to travel to this year to train for my new job is the USA. I need to see our two main offices in Washington and Ohio.

I got Loveland when researching for nice places to see in Ohio. Loveland is named after a storeowner and postmaster, James Loveland. I think it wouldn't be hard to guess why I want to visit. My main hobby is about sending and receiving postcards and letters from the mail.

While browsing through my postcards collection, I was delighted to see that I have something from Loveland, OH. This is Loveland Castle, the headquarters of the Boy Scouts Troop named Knights of the Golden Trail. The castle is also called Chateau Laroche, which means "Rock Castle" in French.

  2. What a handsome castle and you had a postcard of it. I hope you get to see it in person when you visit the USA. Would you like to trade postcards with me? Send me an email with your address to the kilns at excite dot com I am in California.

  8. Hi - I don't often stay in hotels, but here is a link to what people on Trip Advisor think are good budget hotels in Stockholm. http://www.tripadvisor.com/HotelsList-Stockholm-Cheap-Hotels-zfp10483.html

    I'd also recommend staying on a ship while in town - it's much cheaper. The Af Chapman is run by the Youth Hostel Association. It has a great location in the centre of town.

    You should go to Skansken - the oldest outdoor museum in the world. And to the Vasa Museum and the Abba Museum.
