In this January 23, 2015 photo, piñatas in various stages of preparation dry on the rooftop terrace of craftsman Melesio Vicente Flores and his family, in the Iztapalapa neighborhood of Mexico City. After drying in the sun, the piñatas are brought inside to be painted. It takes about two days to complete a piñata during the dry season, twice as long during the rains. With four people working, the family is able to make 40 to 60 piñatas a week. “You have to hang on in good times and bad”, said Vicente. “As for me, I like this work a lot. Really, I found satisfaction. I can't complain”. (Photo by Rebecca Blackwell/AP Photo)
