Echo Park Ese

I have to admit that my only real reference to Echo Park was from the movie Mi Vida Loca.

So one weekend while we were exploring around Los Angeles we decided to head over and see Echo Park for ourselves. It was nothing like the movie. East LA is now taken over by hipsters. They have moved in and cleaned up the area. Echo Park is a beautiful place where lots of people in suspenders walk their dogs.

We walked around the entire lake. The girls enjoyed singing to the ducks. They each brought their sketch books and took some time sketching the lake and any duck that would stand still long enough.

We had such a beautiful day walking the lake. Even with Phi getting sick towards the end of our walk we had a nice afternoon and not one "Sad Girl" in sight. It was nothing like I imagined.
