Hearst Castle
Last weekend, we visited Hearst Castle near San Simeon on the California coast above San Louis Obispo. The last time we went was in 1958, shortly after the State of California had received the property from the Hearst Heirs. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the property is in better shape than ever.This should be on the must see list of anyone visiting California. It is a beautiful setting. The architecture is outstanding. The collection of European, Roman, Greek, and Egyptian art is mind boggling. And, let's face it, it's fascinating to see how one of the most wealthy men in the world spent (squandered?) his money.

Nancy and I went in March and the hills were so green and lush. The air was also clear and the views were extensive. We should really enjoy this place, because us Californians just spent $95 million for a conservation easement.
