It was foggy during our tour of the castle as you will see in the pictures. I am sure Diane will give you details of the tour in her blog entries, I will just share some of my favorite pictures.
This is the outside pool at the Castle. the pillars on the left were imported from Europe and are hundreds of years old.
One of the many terraces looking up at one of three bungalows. It appears that bungalow was a place to sleep with no kitchen. Cooking was done by servants in the big house.
Here is another view of the bungalow (Casa del Mar) that we got to tour.
Diane in front of one of the many sculptures.
This is the entrance to the big house. The lower part of the door came from a convent, the upper arch part was custom made to go with the door and fit in the opening.
This is the dining room in the big house. William Randolph Hearst sat in the middle on the left side with his guests around him.
This is the indoor pool. It has real gold inlaid in the designs in the bottom of the pool, the walls and walkway around the pool. The main pool is 10 ft. deep. the small elevated area to the left is a diving platform. The little room below and behind the the diving platform is for non-swimmers and is only 3 feet deep.
