Adventures in LA: Olvera St.

Just northwest of union station is a block you might as well call North Mexico. The architecture is all old Spanish mission style, pleasing to the eye. Everything, from the bright colors to the churro dealers (peddling my favorite addiction) conveys a vibrant, richly cultural community.

Mmm…. spicy.

Too bad I had already eaten (steamed eel with kimchee and a.. vase (?) of sake in Little Tokyo), because the food on this street smelled good. Definitely going back!

Oh yeah, and I saw the bassist for Metallica there with his little daughter. I do have a picture, but he was on personal time, so I won’t post it.

LA is awesome!
