... I had with me were my sunglasses. <br> Once back, I loaded up the cameras and headed to the bay to try and capture the sunset. I also was hoping to meet up with a friend and fellow photographer who had text me that she also was in Morro. We did run into each other as we filmed the sunset and had a great chat. The lighting was all pinks and mauves. But night is here and the temperature has dropped. It will be a popcorn and movie night.

... it, but thin enough that you don't get a mouthful of batter instead of fish. They throw in a healthy serving of fries (in size not cholesterol count!), along with lemon slices, tarter sauce, and catsup. As it was getting damp and Mom has been sick, we took this all back to the hotel and ate at out little table. Needless to say, we now also have dinner or lunch for tomorrow!<br> Morro is the kind of old fashioned 1950 beach ...

We sent out a few emails, hoping for a response in the morning...<br><br>07/11/2009 - We were woken in the morning by a call back from one of the property agents.

Hearst Castle - San Simeon Our next port of call was San Simeon where William Randolph Hearst built his hill-top holiday home, the inaccurately named "Hearst Castle". Hearst was the newspaper magnate grandfather of the famous Patty Hearst (who?). This amazing place was started in 1919 & as a consequence of Hearst's persistent meddling, was never completed in his lifetime. It has been preserved just ...

After<br>a terrible night of fearful driving, we made it to the hotel and were<br>lucky to be alive, so we went for a visit of the Hearst Castle. This is<br>a mansion/castle built by W.R.Hearst and it just amazing.

... of the famous artwork in the house, and Sandy loved the tidbits of media history through out the tour. The tour was over, we watched a National Geographic film about the Hearst Castle that explained some of what went into building the estate.
