And Then We Paid A Visit To Mr. Hearst

Our next stop was in San Simeon at the famous Hearst Castle. I don't think you can appreciate the enormity of this man's "little ranch in the country" as he called it, unless you've seen it with your own eyes. Mr. Hearst hit it big as a newspaper tycoon and built a mansion late in his life in San Simeon. His family donated the castle to the state, and now tours are given of it several times a day. We're hoping to purchase it back from the state after we pay off Paul's student loans.
