San Simeon

We chose to stay in San Simeon because of it's proximity to 3 places.

1) Big Sur
2) Hearst Castle- which I will inundate you with pictures later on
3) Wine country

San Simeon is a mere speck on the coast, but is quiet and cute. Mom and pop places abound and be careful, because everything closes, by 9:00-9:30 p.m. Which is strange to this city girl.

Our hotel The Orchid at San Simeon was super cute and reasonable and walking distance to the ocean. Here is an ocean video:

Note: It was really windy so mind your speakers.
