The San Simeon Hearst Castle and the Berkeley City Club

First Photo-Front of Hearst Castle in San Simeon and the Second Photo front of the Berkeley City Club, in Berkeley, CA 

In my previous posting I described and showed some photographs of the Berkeley City Club sometime  called the Little Castle since it was design by Julia Morgan, the same architect that design the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, also know as the Enchanted Hill. I have been to the Hearst CASTLE  twice(in the late 1970's)  and I have posted my experiences in the reference below.  

The indoor pool of the Hearst Castle is similar in design to the pool at the Berkeley City Club, Berkeley, California.

    Interesting that the groom's mother is from Malta and even shares my surname.

    Marianne said the surname Caruana is a very common surname in Malta, just like the surname SMITH here in the US.
