Olvera Street

The weather report is nothing short of dismal for the next five days, so we spent the last rain-free afternoon walking around Olvera Street.  Nestled downtown Los Angeles, this street is home to dozens of little vendors with kitschy souvenirs and some of the best Mexican food the city has to offer. We stopped for taquitos, bought colorful postcards and ate piping hot churros just as the rain started coming down.
