Sunday walk at Balboa Park, San Diego, CA

Just a few pictures from our Sunday walk at Balboa Park in San Diego. It's a really gorgeous place. Even though i have been here many times, every time i am in San Diego i want to visit this park again. The architecture in the park is very beautiful, so just walking around the park is a pleasant experience. But there are more things to see: many different museums, lots of people performing on the street, galleries, art shows, gardens etc. And some of that i am going to share with you in this post.

But in today's post i will show you how it looks in October.

NASCAR, My racing experience at LA Racing.

In today's post i'm going to share with you my racing experience in the latest NASCAR sport car model at LA Racing race track.  It was one of the most incredible moments in my life. I love cars and i like fast cars the most. When i was young, my dream was to become a Rally WRC racer but this type of sport requires a lot of investment or  good sponsors, which was impossible for me and i chose a different profession. But the desire of speed did not ever leave me.
