On Sunday June 29, 2014 I left my friends house and visited Hearst Castle. I had seen many pictures but I had never been there in person. As luck would have it, I took the first tour of the day. That meant that there was almost nobody there and the day turned out gorgeous. While the tour was fun, walking around was the best way to explore the place. The Castle was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst, you can find a detailed story on the wikipedia page. Unfortunately the "Neptune" pool was empty and in need of maintenance. This means I'll have to go back in a few years. If I do, I'll try to get on the evening tour, that should be even more spectacular!
