Carlsbad is surfing, skating, ocean, sun and exercising. I stayed in Carlsbad for 3 weeks and I LOVE IT! The people are friendly and warm. Everybody has a smile for you and I felt comfortable the whole time.
When you are looking for a vacation in California but you do not want to go to a big city, then Come to Carlsbad! You can do so many things, hiking, surfing, skating,swimming in the ocean, going to concerts , eating in nice restaurants, play volleyball, ride a bicycle, go out in the evening and a lot more. You are about an hour from San Diego and an hour and a half from Los Angeles.
Carlsbad is very safe. It is no problem to walk alone through the town. Also, when you have a problem you can ask any and everyone. In downtown there are a lot of nice bars and restaurants. They are not expensive and they are very safe.
During the summer there are many tourists in Carlsbad but this is not a problem. It is not very crowded and most of them have good behavior.
Well, I know, I WILL visit Carlsbad again. I think Carlsbad is the best city (town) in California. The sun shines every day and the people are happy like I am.
I want to thank Rahel for contributing to the blog and being our guest over the last few weeks. You have been a joy!

Switzerland by Rahel Buergin Guest writer from Swtizerland
Switzerland is a very small country in the middle of Europe. It is surrounded by the countries: Germany (northward), France (westward), Italy (southward) and Austria (Eastward).
Switzerland has 26 cantons. Every canton has it's own dialect. Traditional Swiss meals are mostly with cheese or chocolate. The chocolate is very good.. Every canton also has a special delicacy. An example in the canton of Thurgau (the name comes from the river Thur), the apples are very popular. This canton has a second name called Mostindien, in English is means Cider India. Another example is the canton Aargau. very popular here is Aargauer Rueblitorte (Carrot Cake)!.
The 26 cantons are always in competition, but not too much. Just like every canton has it's own meal, they also each have their own flag. My canton "Thurgau" has a lion and a woman on the flag. In the winter-time. most people go to the mountains for skiing.
In Switzerland, skiing and ice hockey are very popular sports. During the summertime a lot of people spend their vacations here. Some of people go to other countries while many stay in Switzerland. We are lucky because we have a minimum of 4 weeks vacation but most have 5 weeks.
Swiss people are not the most open and it is not normal to greet strangers on the street. BUT, when a Swiss person opens his hear, then they are very friendly and warm. And this person will do alot for you!.
Rahel is a Swiss world traveler and has been staying in Carlsbad, Ca. before she begins a month long journey thru several of the National Parks through out the South-West. She is currently writing an article on her experiences in Carlsbad, Ca.
