It was very interesting and got an excellent picture I would love for Jerry to see. I think that was our guides name. It was taken in the dungeon but it definitely looks like we weee not alone. The picture would not focus and it took me three tries to get it and the finally I just looked at the doors and took it. Boy am I glad it did.
