San Simemon

My computer has died. Blogging has become a challenge. Working on Deborah's IPad without a keyboard means less words and more pictures. 

Our drive to the coast at this time of year turned out to be a bonus. The California typical brown grass hills where the most picturesque green I have ever seen. On the down side was the temperature that tumbled from 30 Celsius to about 15. We arrived in Sam Simeon about 5 pm. And settled into the Sea Breeze Inn. After a dinner out it was off to bed readying ourselves for our four hour tour of the Hearst Ranch and Castle. This proved to be well worthwhile stop. 








After our Castle visit we meandered our way up Highway 1 to Carmel and a visit to the golf Mecca Pebble Beach. I had forgotten my 2 for 1 coupon so we didn't play at $500 US a round. We did wander the 18 fairway and green and took some pics from the clubhouse.





We left Carmel and headed north on the 101 for San Francisco, arriving about 9pm.
