a v good day at one of my favorite places in the world…”

I totally understand what you’re saying! But I’ve actually grown to appreciate this place more lately since having many discussions with my art management intern advisor talking about the accessibility of art. I love that it’s a little oasis filled with both originals and copies of pieces you would normally have to go to a place like the louvre to see. I feel like in that sense Hearst accomplished making a museum for everyone

I’d love hearing more about some of your favorites there. I’ve only done the “great rooms” tour. @anonsally mentioned to me how much she liked seeing the kitchens, and I’d definitely like to do that tour some day.

I can’t imagine spending the $750 (!) for a private tour, but it’s fun to imagine what that would be like.

I asked him if he will marry me

Good choice! I asked someone that once and it worked out really well. Fingers crossed he says yes quickly so you can have a Spring wedding.

I’ve seen it from the coast many times when visiting Cambria and making a jaunt north to see the elephant seals, or when en route to Kirk Creek Campground. My wife always suggests a side trip to it (she’s been at least a few times in the pre-me era), but for some reason we’ve never followed through on doing it. Next time!

When I was a teenager we sailed my dad’s boat north up the coast to San Francisco to participate in a race, and we spent a night anchored in the cove at San Simeon. I rowed over to that wooded peninsula on the west side of the cove and hiked around in it. It was really cool; it felt like no one had been there for years. I imagined I was back in WRH’s day, when they were using the cove to bring in all those amazing works of art for the castle.

“Sherlock and Watson are best friends, certainly. They’re also chaste boyfriends, as well as a captain and his first mate. Mostly, though, they’re a god and a mortal, mutually besotted—the most impossible love affair of all.”
