Hearst Castle. Quite a place. He was a real collector.

Mine's along the same lines, in many ways.

The gigant house in the center I would assume. :P

Indeed. The large building in the center with two courtyards, as well as the surrounding gardens, larger buildings, and bodies of water are all part of it. I tried to leave enough surroundings to at least give a concept of place as a hint, for someone with a skilled eye.

Hmm. Hints are in order, I suppose. Kinda like AB's Hearst, the owner of this property was a magnate that left his collection to the masses.

...Actually, he left two different collections, one in a museum in L.A., and this one, in a historically accurate reproduction of a mountainside villa from pre-Vesuvius Herculaneum.

Working overtime this week. No time to surf the earth.

Vacation starts tomorrow. I'll definitely go searching over the weekend if nobody else gets it.

That would be the world's largest swimming pool at the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile.

Excellent puzzle. Sorry it took so long to get a chance to sit down and figure it out. (You'll notice it's 2:30 AM here in Beantown... Gives you an idea of how much time I have to myself.)

Now, what can I post in return? Hmmmm......

I'll post clues if people actually need/want them. I'm not going to bother until I'm sure that people are actually looking, given the general slowness of this topic lately.

I'm sure AB already has it, anyway. ;-)
