Olvera Street is this neat little Mexican hood in downtown LA. There's a lot of Mexicans in SoCal in general, but Olvera Street seemed to be a pretty good "locals" spot. Olvera Street is also home to the oldest known home in LA, Avila Adobe. The Avila Adobe is representative of the California lifestyle from the early 1800's.
The Avila Adobe open-air courtyard...
We got to take in some local dancers giving a free performance...
Jordan seemed particularly interested in their colorful dresses...
... although she could care less for the churros...
The tacos were delicious, and ridiculously cheap!
The shopping area was crowded with tourists, but Jordan found some peaceful moments to chill out...
Anyone interested in becoming the next Nacho Libre had their choice of costumes...
There were also a lot of stands selling zapatos...
All in all, a pretty nice day for a Sunday in LA. Amazingly, we didn't even hit much traffic on the way there!
