In April 2001 I went to San Diego to visit my friend Albin. This is the two of us in Balboa Park.

This unique Park building is called the Museum of Man.

This is one of the gardens in Balboa Park.

Another sight in the gardens of Balboa Park.

This is the beach in beautiful Oceanside, California, near San Diego.

I think I need to live somewhere that has palm trees.

A relaxing evening at the beach in San Diego.

Simply breathtaking.

We also visited this amazing flower farm in Carlsbad, California.

Some of the locals enjoying the sunshine.

A skate park in Oceanside.

The pier seemed to stretch forever.

I could definitely adjust to the southern California lifestyle.

We spent a day touring the world-famous SoCal wineries.

Beautiful country and delicious wine.
