We went camping at San Simeon a week and a half ago and saw tons of whales! Humpbacks I believe. Also seals, sea otters, elk, and zebras... yes, zebras, half-wild ones that live on the Hearst Castle estate. It was a fabulous trip to see wildlife!

They were feeding, as were the hundreds of pelicans and other birds.
