Hearst Castle was 10 miles or so up the road.
This guy owned a lot of land.
I spent a while looking for some kind of theme to the place.
The swimming pool.
I came to the conclusion there is no real theme.
It is a collection.
Tours are given by the bus load.
It's an easy walk.
Inside the home reminded one of a museum.
To me, there was no particular rhyme or reason to the decor.
It was a collection of things.
The dining hall.
The indoor swimming pool.
Tapestries
This picture was typical. Here you have Roman busts, Christ on the cross, coats of arms and other period pieces.
This man in my opinion was the epitome of the term 'nouveau riche'.
The tour was worth it, though.
