Rollerblading in Victory Park

A few week back, on one of the last nice, sunny and warm weekends we went to Victory Park. The kids wanted to go as we had not been this summer, and as every other time we had been there, people were on rollerblades and skateboards, our kids want to bring their rollerblades. So they all scooted around on their rollerblades for a while.

Our Karina is 9 today

Tombstone & Boothill

I was in the US a few week back and got a chance to go visit some friends in Arizona. They live near the town of Tombstone and it's graveyard Boothill made famous in many old western movies but mostly because of Wyatt Earp and the gun fight at the OK corral. I love westerns growing up so it was fun for me to be in Tombstone.

Travelling

I had to do a lot of travelling this summer and thought I would show you a few photos from my travels

In June while in Ulan Ude I got to travel with some friends to a village about 160kms to the east.

This was taken in the city of Kyzyl in southern Siberia as you will see from the sign they consider this to be the "Centre of Asia". I was out there visiting some friends in June. To get there we had to drive over a mountian pass in the Sayan Mountians and according to what I can make out the pass reached almost 1800m above sea level. I also made one other trip but have no photos from it.

Rain:)

The heat wave has finally broken, this morning we woke up to rain and 10c, feel nice to be cool again. Wednesday it was 33c and they were saying on the news "this is the very last hot day of the year" maybe there were right, but we will have to wait and see!

Clear skys!

Wind has changed direction and cleared smog!

Smog is back!
