san simeon-Hearst Castle

Recently toured the Hearst Castle, judging from the decor, erotic sculptures, guest list, and rumors this place was party central for the movie crowd of the 1920's. A great tour, they have recently loosened the rules and let you strole about the grounds by yourself for as long as you want. All the inside tours are guided. Alarms sound if you step off the carpet. It took William Randolph Hearst 13 years to build this and he only had one architect. Apparently there were alot of change orders. Much of the art is 15th century along with ceilings, tapestries, and sculptures incorporated into the building.
