Another time we submersed ourselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of the oldest Downtown street: Olvera Street.  Let’s be real, primarily the food with the most-recommended taquitos in Los Angeles at Cielito Lindo and dessert at Mr. Churro.

Long Beach
For an ARTISTIC adventure, we visited:  Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA). Though small, it had many beautiful exhibits across many mediums. Sundays are FREE!

Palos Verdes
For an OUTDOOR adventure, we love hiking along the trails at Terranea, usually stopping at Nelson’s to get a baked-to-order pretzel. One day, we went closer to the beach and hunted for sea caves!

Running Event
For a ROCKING OUTDOOR day with friends, try a Rock-n-roll running event!  Also available in other cities worldwide!
