Balboa Fun Zone-Skywatch Friday

The Balboa Fun Zone is one of Southern California's oldest and last great coastal amusement areas. It is located on the Balboa Peninsula of Newport Beach and since 1936, the Fun Zone's ferris wheel has been a day and night landmark on the Newport Harbor scene, beckoning all to join in the fun. The ferris wheel was completely rebuilt from the ground up in 1986.

Hubby and I spent last Friday, Saturday, Sunday and most of Monday in Southern California. I am a native Southern Californian and was very happy to get back to my home turf. It was a breath of fresh air.

What Happens When You Park Where You Shouldn't - Rome, Italy - My World

I find it interesting that the locals in Rome get quite creative(well, I suppose you would have to) when it comes to parking their vehicles. Space is at a premium and every one owns a car, or so it seems. This is the first time I have seen this contraption physically removing a car from a space where it should not have been parked. I thought it worthy of a photograph or two. Taken on the Viale Trastevere near the Piazza Ippolito Nievo.
