Whenever I hear about an interesting place, I drop Whenever I hear about an interesting place, I drop a ⭐ on it in Google Maps. I can’t remember how I first came across Pulgas Water Temple, but it’s been sitting on my map for yeeeaaars.

I finally got to visit last week &  it’s this wonderfully odd little monument tucked into the hills south of San Francisco.

After the Great Earthquake of 1906 & the fires that followed, the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct was built to carry water from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the Bay Area. It took 24 years to build but transformed the region’s water supply, bringing safe, reliabledrinking water to San Francisco & it’s still in use today.

The Pulgas Water Temple was built as a monument to that feat of engineering. 🏆

Every corner of @filoliestate exudes its own charm Every corner of @filoliestate exudes its own charm…the designed gardens, rambling trails, art installations, opulent interiors, picture perfect floral arrangements 💐 

Visiting this historic site just south of San Francisco has been on my list for ages & I loved getting to do so with my fam!

Pro tip: head to the first bridge beyond the meadow where you can stand on two tectonic plates at the same time 🌀
