WE HAVE TRAVELED TO HEARST CASTLE MANY TIMES - USUALLY FOR CHRISTMAS. WE HAVE SEEN THE ELEPHANT SEALS AND THE SEA LIONS DOWN SLOPE FROM THE CASTLE. PEOPLE TEND TO GET TOO CLOSE TO THE SEALS. THEY WANT TO TAKE CLOSE PHOTOS AND THE ANIMALS DO NOT LIKE HAVING PEOPLE THAT CLOSE - THEY SOMETIMES CHARGE THEM!
THE CASTLE IS SO BEAUTIFUL IN WINTER - THE INTERPRETERS HAVE IT DECORATED SO NICELY. EACH TIME I VISIT IT I SEE A DIFFERENT PIECE OF ART. OUR FAMILY USED TO GO TO THIS MUSEUM DURING THE CHRISTMAS BREAK AND WE EVEN TOOK MY MOM THERE ONCE. I ENJOYED THE THE VIEW THE MOST, AS WELL AS THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOL. WE HAD A GREAT TIME LOOKING AT ALL OF THE ANTIQUES THERE. THEY EVEN HAVE SOME ZEBRA AND VARIOUS ANIMALS THEY TEND FOR ON THEIR HUGE PROPERTY. THE MOVIE ABOUT THE HEARST'S LIFE IS ALSO EXCELLENT.
I THINK I ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE GUIDE'S DISCUSSION OF WHERE THE CARVED WOODEN BEAMS AND SCULPTURES WERE FROM AND HOW THEY WERE RESTORED.
MOST OF THE HOUSE HAS BEEN RESTORED MORE THAN ONE TIME. THEY TRAVELED TO SO MANY COUNTRIES AND THEY COLLECTED SO MANY THINGS AND HAD THEM SHIPPED TO THE SHORE BELOW THEIR MANSION..
WE STAYED AT A NICE MOTEL WITH AN INDOOR POOL AND HAD FUN WALKING IN THIS NICE LITTLE TOWN THAT HAS A LOT OF CUTE SHOPS.
THIS IS NOT THE ONLY MANSION HE OWNED ..I THINK HE HE OWNED SEVERAL OTHERS IN THE U.S. OH WELL, IT MUST BE NICE TO BE RICH..!
