Subject: Must Read... Trip through Morro Bay

.. I'm from Gander, Newfoundland and my wife is originally from Russia.  Since her mother now lives in Los Angeles, we recently visited Southern California for a week.  We traveled through Morro Bay on April 9th [2005], spending the night at the Ascot Inn.  While a rather basic place, I thought it was a comfortable place to spend the night, with the owner being very helpful.  We walked along the waterfront exploring some of the stores for collectables and gifts, as well as visiting a couple of the restaurants.  Very nice town!  It proved to be a great stop on our trip from LA to San Francisco.  The owner of the Ascot Inn also suggested a visit to Hearst Castle... that was a super idea!!  I had heard some small sketches about the place, but it was definitely worth the time it took for a tour in person!

On behalf of my wife and I, all I can say to all of you is, "Thanks for a great time!"  If I get the opportunity to visit SoCal again, Morro Bay will definitely be in there for destinations to visit!!
