A fishing village, an old time pioneering community, a Western beach town, a working artists colony and a castle.  The San Simeon area - best known for Hearst Castle's visited by nearly a million tourists annually - offers an intriguing variety of towns  and destinations for the Central Coast traveler. The coastal town of San Simeon, a beautiful area of pastoral and seaside vistas,is 65 miles south of Big Sur.  A visit here should include a walk on the area's beautiful beaches, known for their shells, moonstones and beautiful sunsets. San Simeon is just three miles from the famed Hearst Castle, a magnificent estate of 165 rooms and 127 acres of gardens, located on a hilltop in the Santa Lucia Mountains overlooking the Pacific.  Once home to newspaper published William Randolph Hearst.  It is now a State Historical Monument. Visited by Hollywood movie stars, famous politicians and well-known journalists during its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, the Castle now draws vi

Heading further into Big Sur, four state parks are found.   The northernmost is Garrapata State Park, where sea lions, seals and sea otters frolic along the shore and two trails lead from the coast to the steep inland mountains. Te next park, Andrew Molera, is reached after crossing dramatic Bixby Bridge, a manmade wonder that begins to rival the natural wonders of Big Sur.  At 714 -feet wide, the massive bridge towers gracefully above Bixby Canyon .  As with the rest of the Big Sur section of Highway One, Bixby Bridge was built by convicts, many of whom whittled time off their sentences as they risked life and limb to construct this elegant spa of roadway. The Big Sur River runs through Andrew Molera state park, which offers 50 walk-in campsites and 16 equestrian trails. South of this park is the quiet village of Big Sur, the gateway to Big Sur Valley.  This rustic complex is comprised of a few gas stations and general stores, campgrounds and inns Just a mile and a half past

There is one pace at which Big Sur should be taken - whether driving straight through its 90 - mile stretch or spending several days exploring its natural wonders.  That pace is leisurely. And indeed, it's difficult to take it at any other pace. For those who spend time in the area, there is no town, as such. No shopping malls, movie theatres or amusement parks.   For those who drive through the Big Sur region on Highway One, California's first Scenic Highway, the sharp curves and steep hills of this well- maintained bur challenging road demand driving with care.   Particularly if the many breathtaking vistas along the way are to be fully enjoyed. At a  leisurely pace, visitors to Big Sur will be able to revel in one of nature's masterpieces.   Perhaps one of the Big Sur 's best known residents. the late Henry MIller, described it best.   Both writer and artist, Miller called Big Sur ".... a region where one is always conscious of eloquent silence .... the

Carmel-By-The-Sea.  The serene beauty and quiet charm that inspired artists to flock to this little village in the early 1900s still draw visitors today.  Populated by residents committed  to preserving these attributes. Carmel-By-The-Sea is likely to be a beloved destination for visitors for years to come. Located on the coast, south of Monterey, Carmel-By-The-Sea resembles a European village.  Winding tree-lined streets, flower boxes hanging from windowsills, outdoor cafes and intimate restaurants, shops and boutiques housed in lovely cottages and bungalows, hidden courtyards - all combine to give the town its unique charm. Carmel-By-The-Sea still boasts evidence of the artists who helped put the town on the map.  Art galleries abound in this village, which is also home to Forest Theatre, California's first outdoor community amphitheatre. Perhaps one of Carmel's greatest artistic treasures is the former home of Robinson Jeffers, a poet who was greatly inspired by th

Point Pinos Lighthouse is another Pacific Grove landmark not to be missed.  Built in 1855, it is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast.   Its kitchen and parlor and bedrooms are furnished with period antiques and weekend self-guided tours tell about the lighthouse's  automated signal which still aids fogbound ships. Pacific Grove is also known for its beautiful Victorian homes, many of which have been converted to bed-and-breakfast inns.  These are open to the public during December 's "Christmas at the Inns" showcasing seven elaborately decorated inns. Golfers will enjoy trying their swing at the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Course, one of the best golf values on the Monterey Peninsula.  This beautiful, Par 17 course is open to the public.  Its oceanside location offers breathtaking views and often adds the challenge of coastal breezes to an afternoon golf game.  Pacific Grove is the gateway to Pebble Beach, so golfers can also tee u

Pacific Grove can be reached via Highway 68 east, off of Highway one, or by driving beautiful Ocean View Boulevard south of Monterey. Pacific Grove may be small, but it is anything but sleepy.  Visitors have  a wide array of activities from which to choose. The Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History voted the best natural history museum of its size in the nation, is easily found - just look for the life-sized gray whale sculpture on the museum's front lawn.  The museum houses a variety of displays including exhibits featuring California birds, insects, mammals, minerals, reptiles and seashells; a Hands-On -Gallery designed with children in mind; and one large exhibit, "Eskimos - Survivors of the North". The museum, which is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm., also features a display explaining the migratory habits and behavior of the monarch butterflies, annual visitors to this town that is nicknamed "Butterfly Town U.S.A."

Salinas, the birthplace of John Steinbeck, is also the home to John Steinbecks's Library and annually hosts the California Rodeo in July, the Steinbeck Festival in August and the California International Air Show in October. Highway 101 cuts through the southeast portion of Monterey County, the birthplace of the region's wine-making industry.  It was in what is now the town of Soledad, almost 200 years ago, that Franciscianfrairs planted the first crop of wine grapes.  Today, 34,000 acres in Monterey County are planted in vineyards.   Several vineyards located in and around Soledad.  Gonzales and Greenfiel

Air Air is all around us - it surrounds the earth in a layer called the atmosphere.  All living things must have air in order to live.  Air is colourless and has no smell,  Yet it is really a mixture of a number of different gases. We can feel air when the wind blows, and we know air has weight.  Air carries sounds - without it we would not be able to hear because sounds cannot travel in a Vacuum. The chief gas in air is nitrogen, which makes up nearly four-fifths of the air.   About one--fifth of the air is made up of Oxygen.  Air also holds some water particles called vapour.  We find the degree of Humidity in the air by measuring the amount of Vapour. Air expands when it is heated, and when it expands it becomes lighter. This is why warm air rises. The air that surrounds the earth gets thinner and higher you go.  All high-flying aircraft have to keep the air in their cabins at ground -  level pressure so that passengers can breathe normally.  In the same way, mountaineers

Abbreviation An abbreviation  is a shortened form of a word or a group of words.  Words and phrases are shortened to save space.  Sometimes only the beginning of the word used, such as St for "Saint" or DR for "doctor"  Sometimes only the beginning of the word is used as in Sept  for "September". A full stop may be placed after the abbreviation to show that it is shortened form.

The abacus is a simple counting machine first used by the ancient Greeks and Romans.  It consists of rows of beads strung on wires:  those on the first wire count as ones, those on the second wire count as tens, and on the third they count as hundreds, and so on.  The abacus is still used in Eastern countries such as China and Japan.  The Romans sometimes used small stones as counters.  They called these counters calculi, and it is from this that we get our word calcuate.

There are thousands of different kinds of bacteria.   These tiny living things are too small to be seen with the naked eye.   They are one of the simplest forms of life and are more like plants than animals, though they show characteristics of both. Bacteria take many shapes.  Some are round, others are wormlike or spiralled.  Still others are red-shaped. These microscopic organisms are found everywhere - in our bodies, in the soil, in food, on just about everything we touch. Many bacteria are helpful.  There are bacteria in the soil that help to break down, or decay, animal and vegetable matter.  Those in our digestive systems help break down food nutrients for the body.  Harmful bacteria include germs that cause disease and those that make food spoil.   Bacteria multiply very quickly.  From one bacterium there can be millions in only a few hours.  Louis Pasteur was the first to study the effects of bacteria and to discover  that  it was the bacteria that made food spoil.

The Human Body Where bones meet there is always a joint.  There are immovable joints, as in the skull; slightly movable joints, as in the spine; and hip.  Where one bone rubs against another there is a tough substance called cartilage and the joints , are lubricated by a special fluid called synovial fluid.   Joints are held together by tough stretchy ligaments.

Cactus There are many different cacti, they are able to grow in hot Desert climates.  Cacti can do this because they store water in their fleshy stems.  They are covered with prickly spines instead of leaves.  The spines protect the plant's store of water from desert animals.

The body of the Red Fox:  Ears are large to pick up as much sound as possible. A fox can hear even better than a dog. Nose  The fox 's sense of smell is very keen. With its wet nose it can tell which way the wind is blowing, so it knows exactly, where any smell is coming from. Teeth  Long ones at the front for tearing meat and sharp side ones for slicing it. Tail   The fox's tail is called a brush.  It helps it to balance; and to signal to other foxes, and to keep warm, curling it round like a scarf. Legs   Strong legs and feet for running.  The fox does not run away very fast, but it can run for a long time at the same speed

The history of the house of Esterhazy goes back to the 13th century.  The princely line was founded in 1687 by Emperor Leopold 1.  The ancestral family seat - the baroque Esterhazy palace in Eisenstadt - was designed by the Italian architect Carlone and completed in 1683.   Along with their high level of education and interest in art, music and science, the Esterhazy princes were known also for their magnificent royal household Johann Wolfgang von Goethe raved about a "fairy tale kingdom" during his visit to one of the Esterhazy festivities.   Empress Maria Theresia loved the wine of the lake.   And the world-famous composer Joseph Haydn, wanted to have part of his salary as the court musician paid in wine.   Wine-growing has been in the genes of the House of Esterhazy for more than 250 years, and it has evolved to today's standard with the opening of the new state of the art winery in 2006.

Tesoro (treasure) is our flagship wine - on par with the best French and Italian wines.  This wine is made of a selection of handpicked and beautifully ripened Merlot and Blaufrankirsch grapes from our premium vineyards only.   The vineyards on the slopes of the Leithagebirge in St Georgen benefit from the warm basin sites comprised of shell limestone and an underlayer of slate.   Because of the inclination of the slopes together with the nearby forest, cool air flows over the vineyards during the night, delivering intense aromas and a fresh acidity structure to the grapes.   The pre-selected grapes are sorted twice before 30 days of maceration.   Mturationis in the style of a grand crucuvee and lasts for 19 months in a range of new French oak barriques, allowing the wine's stately potential to unfold for a decade or longer.

The oak requires light to mature and grow thick and old, which is why ancient oak trees are found in environments where the landscape has been kept open. Oak and man have coexisted for centuries.  The oak was favoured early on due to its acorns.  In the 16th century, as the power structure of Sweden grew centralised, oak trees became the property of the state due to their importance in shipbuilding and tanning.  This remained the case until the mid 19th century.  Since oak trees regarded to inhibit the growth of forage grasses, and the general public was no longer allowed to make use of their bark and timber, oak po

- Remember, you are not alone. Treat others with respect - Dog owners are responsible for their pets.  Keep in mind that all dogs have hunting instincts, and that    not everyone you meet is used to dogs.  Make sure you can control your pet.  This applies all year    round. - Bicyclists and pedestrians generally use the same paths, so please slow down to walking speed when    passing pedestrians. - Do not break off the branches of living trees and bushes.  Remember that the saplings of today will provide shade for our grandchildren

Easy access to parks and nature reserves provides public health benefits and it is a good investment for society on many levels.
