Not really a castle, Schloss Drachenburg was built between 1882-84 (two years!) as a private villa. It took almost two decades for the restoration when the state took over in 1989their website generously offers a virtual tour
I once knew someone with this name. Not surprisingly, she was always having to correct people - no, not Delia - and then having to spell it and it didn't help that she spelt it Daliah
I was never very good with a hula hoop, and that was only one hoop. So watching these guys with multiple ones all over their body is quite mesmerising. This is actually nothing like hula dancing. An Anishnaabe folktale says that once there was boy who didn't like to hunt or fish and spent hours watching the animals in the wild and began copying their movements. Eventually, he added hoops and created dances that he taught to others, with the hoops representing animals, symbols, and designs.

A hula hoop fail from me too and I definitely haven't got the coordination required on the stamp which takes it to another level. Fascinating.
My dancers are dancing here
I could never hula hoop it around even once.

I like the story behind the hoop dance. And not, I was not very good with a hula hoop either! :)
See D stamp.
I was never able to keep a hula hoop "going" more that 3 turns; I must admit I did not try much.... Dazzling Dahlia stamps!
