We got to the park exactly two hours before the free Latin music at the 9th Sunday of the Stern Grove Festival. Mijo, my friend from college Mike and I brought a picnic mat, some snacks, breads, cheeses and couple of bottles of wines to share. The weather cooperated because the summer fog retreated to the ocean so it was clear that afternoon.Here are my notes.
