./Hacienda_Paso_Robles_20130610_115423_B13_5423.jpg

The front gate of the Hacienda was through a fence that separated the dirt parking area from the Hacienda proper. The only way into or out of the property was by car because there was no nearby public transportation.

Group Rooms

./Hacienda_Paso_Robles_20130610_120223_B13_5443.jpg

Some rooms had three beds, some had two beds, and a few had single beds. All were supplied with a single bath towel and two sheets not yet put on the beds. Covering the bed with sheets was difficult because neither sheet was fitted.

The supplies to play badminton, volleyball, and soccer were piled in a black bucket under the swimming pool end of the net. As you can see, the playing surface was gravel.

./Hacienda_Paso_Robles_20130610_120642_B13_5457.jpg

The pool lay at the end of a stone path, a considerable walk down hill from the house. It was surrounded by trees, but not shaded during mid day.
