"Allan Schaffer" <allan@southpark.engr.sgi.com> wrote in message > Plan stops in San Simeon/Hearst Castle I've heard a number of recommendations here to visit Hearst Castle. I always thought it was a tourist trap made even more tourist trappy by Awnuld's state park fee hike. It's just a big estate right? Also, is the estate's grandeur not attributed to its intent to bring in visitors? There is nothing wrong with spectacles built to fit a purpose, but to self-spectacularize for the sole purpose of being a spectacle is vain. Maybe I'm totally off-base...I've never been there or experienced it. Perhaps it represents/symbolizes some important historical element I don't know about. I will not knock it until I try it, but my casual observation tells me not to value its "importance" all too heavily.
