Citizen Kane was all about an inordinately rich fictitious newspaper magnet and his insane isolated hill top palace, but really it was all about William Randolph Hearst.We managed to go see his palace today, Hearst Castle- a truly amazing, bizarre and unbelievable mix of architectures, folly's and everything inbetween. The guide was very effusive about the art and kept asking if anyone had any questions... all i wanted to know was what the hell was this guy doing? The could have filmed an entire Bond villain hideout scene on the place. I'm sure he was pretty messed up somehow.. I really want to watch Citizen Kane.
We drove the famous Big Sur coastline all the way up to Monterey after- the area is completely undeveloped for nearly 90miles of coastline, and there is just nothing but swooping road and rugged coast. Completely spectacular.
