One of the biggest chunks of driving I’ve done in a long time, that’s for sure, definitely the most since I moved to Cali in 1996. Worth it since we had a real good time and we lucked out when it came to traffic, with almost no slow zones except the few miles between Gilroy and 85 on the last leg home.
I got a few decent photos from the Hearst Castle tour though most suffered from the no flash rule or shaky from being rushed along problem:
- Long view down to the Pacific off the main terrace
- The big, really big outdoor pool with Roman temple facade
- Tall Egyptian goddess sculpture
- The medium-size guest house (which is of course bigger than 90% of American homes)
- A classic, 400+ year old hunter tapestry
