Thought I would share a couple of things with you on Cinco de Mayo. A postcard from Olvera St. in Los Angeles and a picture of a couple taken there while visiting.
I remember a fourth grade field trip down to Olvera Street. We studied the founding of the missions by Fr. Junipero Serra and we painted a mural for the classroom depicting the mission days, agriculture and early California history. Olvera St. has been preserved and is still a busy market street and center for tourism. The oldest home in Los Angeles is there.
I found this picture of a couple who visited Olvera St. and had their picture taken in this "Olvera St. Taxi" probably during the 1940's. Thought it was pretty neat!
