Hearst Castle

Our friends Jessica and Leiko went with us to Hearst Castle. It was stunning to see how luxuriously some people can afford to live.

A work in progress: this is how Hearst left his property, and when California made his property into a state park, they left it this way too.
Hearst's own private movie theater
This is one of two pools--this one is "indoors" as it is directly beneath the tennis courts.
After the castle tour we drove down Highway 1 for some scenic coastal views.

But we still got to see an incredible sunset!
