Its interesting the difference in the Catholic mass from various Latino Groups. I have attended Mexican, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central American and the one thing they have in common is the family attendance from small children to grandparents. Latinos are very family-centric and we could learn a lot from them.

She is a Latina professional in the Syracuse area. So, it is very relevant to show that such people exist up here. That’s all...

For those who don't speak the language, Abuelas or Abuelitas as they are affectionately known, are grandmothers. Almost all the Abuelas I know are revered and cherished by their Nietos (grand children). The Latino culture, which I am extremely familiar with, holds Abuelos and Abuelas in the highest regard and they are not shuffled off to senior homes like they are here. On Sundays its "family day" and you see the entire family from Abuelos to Nietos out for a lunch. Its extremely common to see Abuelos and Nietos everywhere and its wonderful that they have a use and fulfillment in their Golden Years. We could learn much from the family oriented Latino community.

It opened 2.5 years ago. Have you tried it yet CK? Down here in St Augustine we have a real authentic Spanish restaurant called Columbia which has been owned by the same family for 115 years. We went to the original location in Tampa, which is a historical landmark and the owner gives free tours to show his pride of the Restaurant. When it first opened, there were dirt streets and people tied up their horses outside.
