Family Time in Los Angeles

Late February I had treated P and C to the amazing horse/Cirque du Soleil show, "Cavalia". I had seen this show 4 years previously with my sister Sara and it was so beautiful and well-done that she and I sat and sobbed through all of it.

This time it was pretty much the exact same show save for 1 or 2 changed skits. I only sobbed the first few minutes when the horses come running out across the stage sans bridles, saddles or anything. Just free, playful and happy. Then I just sat on the edge of my seat and clapped hard and appreciatively throughout the show. It is a beautiful, highly recommended spectacle but if you especially know a thing about horses, your breath will be taken away at the massive training in front of your eyes. It is so beautiful and encompasses everything most dear to my heart: the Stage, live, ethnic musicians, an amazing, ethereal soprano, glorious lighting, detailed, colorful costumes, dancers and, of course, the horses.

After the show and before leaving Los Angeles we drove to the famous Olvera Street - one of my old haunts when I lived up there pursuing acting. Located in East LA, it's a tourist spot, not unlike Old Town in San Diego - with Mexican restaurants and shops galore. It is quaint and we had an amazing meal with margaritas for P and I.
