This is the 5th day of my trip....
I got up early in the morning; because I planned some siteseeing for the day : Hearst Castle! But before I went there, I looked around a bit in the area. I started at the pier of San Simeon. After that I drove along highway 1 (to the north) for a couple of miles. There I watched some magnificent animals on the beach : elephant seals.

Call me ignorant, but I have not heard about this place before. So it was a great thing for me to virtually visit Hearst Castle! I hope you are enjoying your sunny summer's April day - my allergies keep me inside the house, but that is perfectly okay!
I'm back on the road with you again Simone! I really enjoyed your pics and tips on the Hearst Castle. You are so right about all the unique roadside things too! By the way, the old wreck is a 1950 Nash 4-door sedan!
nice page. i drove through there myself a few months ago.
Simone in San Simeon--kind of a tongue twister. Going to visit on Saturday, mainly to see the elephant seals, but might drop by the castle too. Excellent photos.
Hey that's reminds me of our Syrian san Simeon LOL great old car and pool and Castle!
I think San SIMeon was made for you! I love the pics of the Elephant Seals! I'd love to hit a Hearst Garage Sale! Victorian Chair .35 cents!!
Again a wonderful page. Beautiful castle and amazing seals!
Excellent pictures of the seals and inside the Hearst Castle!
A very ineresting page, Elephant Seals and the old car look fantastic!
A good example of money can buy you everything except happiness. (maybe love too most of the time.)
