After all of the New Year festivities, it is typical for the family to re-gather on the 1st for the
recalentada, the re-heating of food! If you have spent NYE with one family, then it is more likely that you'll go to another family's
recalentada the following day =) During one of these, I sat and asked my
tías about the grandmother I never got to know, causing them to scurry and pull out old pictures. I can't emphasize enough how much I love looking through old photo albums, and this journey to the past was much more poignant, perhaps because this is a family I did not grow up with...Then again, I found some familiar faces amongst the gems. Here's to a 2012 full of many more laughs, pictures and memories!!
