Many people keep journals to tell stories about their families and their experiences.
Other people keep photo albums. You can also tell your story in a diarama form by making a retablo. Retablos originated in medieval Europe as small altars, or shrines, carried on pilgrimages. The Spanish transplanted the custom to the Americas where it became a tradition among Andean peoples. The figures in retablos are traditionally made of a mixture of potato paste and gypsum.
