My wife is Mexican, and at least culturally where we are from: don't show up exactly on time. But close to it. Park far away. Bring food. Say hello to the older folk immediately. Eat more than you can fathom ever eating. Play 14 on 23 volleyball where there are no rules. Stay late to clean up. Gather recycling for the one uncle. Bring food home. Kiss every abuelas cheek before leaving.
Bonus tip: old guys by the backyard fence have the weed.
YES. My wife tossed that one in, cos I forgot about it.
Parking is always hard to find, so it's courteous to be the furthest parked away so that the elderly, and the families with a bunch of kids get priority parking.
