I am currently in Los Angeles for meetings. Yesterday I had the chance to wander around the historic core of LA, where my 5th-great-grandfather
Francisco Suastegui may have walked when he was in the city in 1835. In my years of living in LA, I never had the opportunity to visit Olvera Street, so it was nice to stop through briefly on this visit.

The photo above is from the
Avila Adobe, the oldest standing residence in Los Angeles. The home was built in 1818. Below is a photo showing a historic ledger, I wonder if Francisco Suastegui's name appears in it. I was not able to touch the ledger. So close, but out of reach.

I also took the opportunity have some tacos at
Grand Central Market and explore the new
Broad Museum. I will have more on these in an upcoming post.
