Today we drove up to see the Hearst Castle at San Simeon, a monstrously extravagent estate built in the 1920's, 30's, and 40's by William Randolph Hearst (of yellow journalism fame) as a retreat for himself and his a-list guests. Its sits on a hilltop a few miles off the road (you really have to know where to look to spot it from Hwy 1,) reachable only by tour bus for a mere $24 ticket. The main house reminded us of the mansions we saw seven years ago in Newport, RI. Seen one show off home, you 've seen 'em all. (Although this one wins the prize.)
