Walt Disney Concert Hall
It’s become a family tradition to go to a Christmas concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. This year, we saw the Escovedo Family Orchestra’s Latin Celebration. It was an excellent show – lively jazz with a latin soul. And Sheila Escovedo on the drums was amazing.
La Boca
La Boca is a barrio in Buenos Aires. Back in the day, the Italian immigrants used left over paint to spruce up the metal sidings of their homes. The result is the colorful touristy street of Caminito.
