Some Cuban Flavor

My dad has this hanging up in our house. This painting is huge, and takes up most of the wall it hangs on. My dad wants to make sure that his culture is shown to whomever enters our house, and he wants them to be taken away by all the Cuban flavor. When I was younger, I was ashamed by this. I didn't want people to view us differently, I just wanted to blend in.

However, in this picture, you can see that my ideas have changed. This picture was taken last year in Miami, when I was visiting my Dad's side of the family. This was for my sister's birthday (She is in the far back dancing with my Grandpa). Usually for birthdays there, we get a Mariachi band and everyone dances and sings along. There is a bunch of food and drinks, and millions of family members there to have a great time.
