Balboa Park

 

Balboa Park

We drove into San Diego and Balboa Park today to hear the weekly free concert on the Spreckles Organ, the largest outdoor organ in the world. Bach, The Sound of Music, Listz and Mussorgsky were the hour's offerings.  The organ and its outdoor pavilion were financed by the Spreckles brothers whose fortune came from sugar.  The day was beautifully sunny and warm.  People swarmed everywhere throughout the park where food, crafts, and entertainers abounded.  What a wonderful spot.  A little video of the Bach can be heard here.
