Arrived early and was able to switch my 2 pm tour to the 10 am tour where I and another couple are taken by van to the site, passing numerous mansions with outstanding mountain views. There was a strong Oriental influence with Feng Shui principles applied: blue ceilings, foo dogs at base of stairs, strong use of color, water treatments. The home was large and built after O’Neill was awarded the Nobel prize in literature for which he received $40,000. A display of his tiny handwriting prompted questions, which elicited the response that he may have had Parkinson’s disease, but his creative flow only worked well when writing. His wife and daughter used a magnifying glass to type up his scripts! Their dog is buried on the property and displayed is Oneill’s poignant ode to their dog. The pool is maintained, occasionally finding animals in it! Danville, CA is quite the town now, far different from what it was in O’Neill’s day. I tried to use my GPS to find the USPO to no avail-turns out it’s in a mall with no label.
