Día de los muertos,
Ahora es el "Día de los muertos" en México,
la verdad es que yo no lo celebro demasiado,
estoy escribiendo desde temprano por que como ahora es día festivo(?),
pues en México no hay clases.
Today is "The day of the deads" here in Mexico :D,
the truth is that i don't celebrate it too much with my family,
and so because of this day, here in mexico (almost)
nobody had classes,
anyway XD, i'm writing this 'cause i want to tell everybody what is
the meaning of "The Day of the deads" it's important
here in my country, so i'd like to give you information and some videos about it

And we have what we call "Calavera" :
can refer to any artistic representations of skulls, such as the lithographs of José Guadalupe Posada.
