I wonder what it takes to get an invitation to a pool party here? The rest of Hearst Castle was interesting, but the pool is definitely the most breathtaking sight in the complex. One impressive factoid about Julia Morgan that I didn't know before this tour: She was educated as a civil engineer before she went to architecture school. For the Hearst complex, she designed a spring-fed, gravity assisted filtered water system that is still in use, providing water to the house, the visitor center, and the town of San Simeon. Wow.
