[View]Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is awesome! I went to Balboa Park, but it was very superior to me. I am a fan of contemporary art, but I don&#39;t remember the last time I felt so much. [Fun] From joy, to dull, to full, to horror. It has everything.

La Jolla Beach (Jewelry in Spanish) is located in the north of downtown San Diego, a famous natural ecological reserve in Southern California, a major wealthy residential area in San Diego, and a famous tourist area. It is close to the Pacific Ocean, with excellent sandy beaches and cliffs, blue and transparent seas, sometimes calm and sometimes shocking. The beach here is particularly soft and delicate, suitable for all kinds of beach sports, the beach is also equipped with toilets and showers, when the tides rise and fall to provide many surf spots, the sea between the tides is calmer, so Lahoya has become a resort for surfers, swimmers and sunbathers.
