September 17, 2025 - Wednesday - Today we were in Anaheim, CA to the see the latest exhibit at the Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center called "Lowrider Culture in the United States." Lowriding is a quintessential Latino/Latina tradition started by Mexican American communities in the 1940s to assert their space and empower their lives. This unique car-making tradition is infused with Latino/Latina soul, entrepreneurship, and ingenuity. The exhibition is from the Smithsonian.
I believe this is a 1936 Chevrolet.

It's a great exhibit, we loved it.
Before the museum, we had to try a new restaurant since our old favorite, Ruby's Diner, has closed. Say hello to the Original Pancake House.
Judy had their "Dutch Baby" which is a miniature German pancake served with lemon wedges and powdered sugar.
I went with their regular "German Pancake" which is oven-baked and served with lemon wedges and powdered sugar.
Everything was delicious, very moist and sweet.
