Hearst Castle and Home

Breakfast at McDonald’s. We were in a hurry and on a budget, and McDonald’s serves up a good breakfast anyway…

 

After checking out, we drove toward Los Osos and then to Morro Bay. Morro Bay was nice, particularly the way the smokestacks from the power plant were juxtaposed against all the nature. Nature is, after all, overrated. We walked around town, and even went to the rather small aquarium, where the sea life was, at least, frisky…

 

Then it was off to Hearst Castle. It was a Citizen Kane dream come true. Yes, I find William Randoph Hearst interesting too, but it was fun picturing Orson Wells sitting in all those big chairs. Yeah, I liked Hearst Castle…

 

 

We came home on Highway 1, which means I’ve seen all of it from Fort Bragg to Pismo Beach and from Las Cruces to El Segundo now. Which — scenic as it is — is probably enough, my love of nature being what it is(n’t) and all…

Good trip. We liked…
