Hearst Castle
Hearst Castle is a huge Landmark. We did a tour with an amazing tour guide, it was like Mr. Hearst showed us around himself.

We did a very short walk through Los Angeles and I took a longer walk around Santa Monica and (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice,_Los_Angeles)[Venice beach]. I liked the last two a lot. In the next two days I am heading back to the San Francisco bay area.
We started of at theBalboa Park, walked down to Little Italy, visited the USS Midway aircraft carrier museum ship and walked back to the car through down town. This was my first time on an aircraft carrier, these things are huge.
Signed up for audience seats at the sitcom Last Man Standing. We had to arrive at 3 for the show to start at 6. They hired a comedian just to cheer up the audience - a little strange. It is very interesting to see how small the entire set actually is. Most of the times the actors only need 2 tries for one scene - extremly professional.
We walked over the campus of the University, ate in the canteen and worked outside at desks with solar powered outlets.
First night in the Los Angeles area mostly for the mexican restaurant El Mirasol Cocina Mexicana across the street. There are many huge beautiful villas like little oasis in Palm Springs.
We did a 10 Miles hike in the Kings Canyon National Park up to the Mist Falls. This has been my favourite National Park so far because of the very untouched nature.
During the day we worked in the fancy Hana Haus, a coworking space by SAP. Afterwards we stayed for a Design Thinking Talk at the same place and finished the evening at a steake house close to the Apple offices.
We visited the Docker HQ for a meetup.
We did two hikes, including a cave and three scary tarantulas.
