Hearst Castle





Greetings students! 3 weekends ago, after living in California for 5 years, I finally had the chance to drive up the California coast along PCH and visit the famous Hearst Castle. Its located in tiny San Simeon, CA.
Hearst Castle was built by William Randolph Hearst, former newspaper tycoon. His father struck it rich when he discovered the famous Comstock Lode, a gigantic silver mine, and so his family was a wealthy one. He was a collector ancient artifacts. There were Egyptian and Roman artifacts at the castle. Below are a just a few pics of my trip to see the castle. If and when I have time I may get around to posting a few more :-)
