| An eye-catching tapestry |
My folks' favorite restaurant in Cambria is
Linn's. They frequent there so much, that when we showed up on the first Friday of the new year without a reservation, no problem, we were shown right to a table. A
tapestry (1) on the wall across from where I was sitting caught my eye the three times in four days we ate at Linn's. The glass work in the cafe area was appealing as well. Check out the menu for Linn's by clicking

| View of old Cambria |
The faux-Spanish images made of cloth seems almost like something you may have seen in Hearst Castle - the mansion of
William Randolph Hearst that is just a dozen mile further up California
Highway 1 at San Simeon. An old postcard of Cambria looking down the street where my folks' house is now on the left near the bottom of the hill shows what the town looked like earlier in the last century when the Spanish-looking estate was being built. The print below hangs on their wall near the kitchen - a gift from my sister-in-law, a Cambria native.

(1) The tapestry is
Lady with A Fan by Austrian born artist Gustav Klimt. I think the price tag at Linn's was for nearly $300. A Google search showed a number of sources for the same tapestry ranging from $57.99 to $209.99 - ah, retail mark-up.
