I started the day with a walk on the beach. Unbelievbably it was again sunny and clear. We took 2 tours at the castle; the Garden and Vista tour, and then one of the living spaces in the Casa Grande. The Hearst Castle is just north of Cambria in San Simeon, CA. and it is a 5 mile bus trip just to get up there. The statue is Three Graces; Aglaia, Euphrosyne, and Thalia, daughters of Zeus.
As some of the girls hadn't seen the Elephant seals, we took a little trip to the Elephant Seal Vista Point. This is the Piedras Blancas rookery and has grown from an original population of 19 to 15,000 animals. The seals spend 8 to 10 months a year in the open ocean, but they come here for birthing, breeding, molting and resting. They are huge!
Our dinner was a Robin's, a very cute little place.
After dinner we voted for next year, and we will be going to Portland, Oregon.
Tomorrow we will be lunching in the town of Paso Robles, a tasting at the olive oil store, and flying back to Kirkland.
A great time, well planned by Margurite and helped by Marlene. Loved it!
