The Heritage Of Olvera Street- photography
The Heritage Of Olvera Street- photography
It is hard to imagine when we are living in a state struck with frigid temperatures, but on the West coast 80 degrees was the perfect backdrop for our recent trip “home”.
Join me as we visit Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles…Â it is a beautiful place! Huge trees and shops line a marketplace celebrating the Mexican culture of early California.
Color is king, mariachi bands walk the streets serenading visitors, the smell of fresh taquitos lingers, and the air reverberates with drums for the cultural dance displays…

The vibrant colors are so gorgeous and inviting. My family would love this place. Did you buy anything fun in the marketplace?
Taquitos 🙂 I did look for Mexican jumping beans without success and was tempted to buy one of the wrestling masks with Hello Kitty, but it didn’t seem threatening enough. Just enjoyed being there
Beautiful! Everything outside my window is mid-winter white. I love the colour in your photos.
Janelle, how deep does the snow get where you are so much farther north?
Lovely. A beautiful bright new year:)
Happy New Year Christa. May the rest of the year be as bright.
May I ask the date you recorded this video of the dancers?
Hi Desiree’, I am sorry it is hard to remember exactly. It was (I think) around the Christmas season 3-4 years ago
