Hispanics love to get together with family and have a “relaxing” afternoon. These family gatherings are usually planned at a certain time, but Hispanics always make sure they get there a few hours late. Theses gatherings can usually be found at the local park down the street or in a relative’s home with large groups of people. Believe it or not that large group of people is all related! One would think they were a group of different friends and their families! During these family gatherings, the men are drinking Corona and making carne asada, the women are gossiping about family and the latest novelas and making side dishes, while the children are playing soccer. If you were to pass by this group, you are likely to hear bad music and loud people talking. Personally, I think the music is horrible and annoying, but they seem to like it, that includes my father. The loud music drowns out chatter about family in their home country and how to make good enchiladas. Overall these family gatherings are full of embarrassing things, but it shows that Hispanics always have time to get together with their relatives and have a good time. Family is important to Hispanics, even though everyone is very busy in today's society, Hispanics keep family first. Everyone has different feelings about family get togethers. They can be enjoyable and fun or you might be begging to go back home to your laptop!
