Hearst Castle

Here are some photos of our drive up to Hearst Castle last weekend. We drove up the PCH and it was quite lovely. Here's a pic of a vineyard we drove by. If I'd had it my way, we would've stopped and gotten drunk...I wasn't driving.

Here's the ocean. If I'd had it my way, we would've stopped and gotten in the ocean after having drinks at the vineyard.

Here's a horrible picture of me with some other people. Okay, that's Tyler on the left and Adam in the middle. At least if I'd had those drinks I'd have an excuse for why I look like two scoops of fruit loops.

This is a pool (yes, there was also an indoor pool) at Hearst Castle. I wanted to go swimming so bad! Except that it was pretty cold, and you know what cold water does to boys!

Ah, the warm...er interior of the castle. It was very pretty.

Long weekend... not long enough

Well, Thanksgiving is over and I had a full weekend. After spending the holiday with friends and eating lots of food, we did a bit of travelling. Friday night, a group of us took the metro into Pasadena for the tree lighting ceremony and some shopping. It was a lot of fun, and a stranger flirted with me, which is always nice. Saturday, we woke up early and drove up the coast to Hearst Castle. We took a tour of the castle at sunset, which was amazing, and then drove back to L.A. Finally, on Sunday, we went to see Milk at the Arclight. For those of you that don't know (you know who you are ;), Harvey Milk was the first openly gay person elected to a government position in the U.S. It was an AMAZING movie, and was oddly relevant to today's issues (Prop 8, etc). And, if you're wondering why there's a picture of Doris Roberts above, it's because she was eating at a nearby table at the Arclight cafe. We tried to get a picture of her, but it was too difficult.
