After sleeping in this morning, we decided that we were tired from all the fun we had been having and all the miles we have driven, and what we really wanted to do was just relax with no special place to go. In the afternoon, we decided to drive a couple or three blocks down to the beach.
There was a good wind and several people were surfing. We sat on the shore and watched them quite a while. It looked like they were having fun, but it looked so dangereous to me. I think I'll stay on the beach. The information about the rock behind Rob says it was made by volcanic activity. It's name is Morro Rock and stands 576 feet high.

This morning we got up all rested and ready to do some more exploring. We drove north to San Simeon, CA, the location of the William R. Hearst Castle.
The castle is so big I couldn't take a picture of all of it. It has 144 rooms, including 36 bedrooms.
This is just the entrance to the swimming pool.
This is a picture of the pool. Hearst spent 25 years building his castle.
Before returning to our campground, we stopped to look at the Elephant Seals laying in the sun on the beach along the Pacific Coast Highway.
Mostly they were just laying in the sun, but occasionally one would flop over on another one and they would get into a scuffle. It was fun to watch them.
Tomorrow, we plan to leave the coast and turn our journey eastward.
