Hahah here are two clips of some dances from the shows during the first night of Día de Muertos at Pátzcuaro island. It was amazing, the show would never end and the dancers were all ages, from 8 to 80 years old!

Día de Muertos at Michoacán
Holaaaa!
I think most of you have already seen my pics on FB. This time I put some extra attention in describing each of them to give you an idea about the fantastic long weekend in Michoacán. So, I do not have much left to say here on my blog. I've posted some silly clips to show you how it was :) I had a super great time, got to know new people, because I mainly only knew ITAM's bachelor exchange students, not the masters who study ate the other campus. Great people and a lot of fun! We stayed 3 nights on a beautiful ranch in the middle of nowhere, so we could get a rest from the hectic capital! Then the last night we stayed at bungallows by the lake of Patzcuaro. Pázcuaro is a magic town where the whole tradition of Día de Muertos was born in pre-hispanic times. Día de Muertos was incredible, we went to this island where many traditional dancing shows were given and the ceremonies of this special day where shown.
Back in Mexico City on Wednesday, time to get to work again. I've got some little works and quiz for next week and then in Wednesday afternoon: Cancun! I'm really looking forward to spent some days in the sun and at the beach. I'm gonna do my best to find a diving school, as diving is a must in the Gulf of Mexico!
This weeken I took it easy. Went to the cinema with some friends and to a Halloween party.
I also went (finally) to the Museo de Antropologia, Mexico's most famous museum. Wow, it's giant and Steph and me needed more than 2 hours to see less than than half, so we'll go back another day!
Yesterday I had a big surprise, I received a package from my parents! :) totally unexpected! It included a lovely card, dutch cookies and sweets (drop!), some spices to make my favorite food, Nassi, tea grown in my parent's garden and a lot of love! I really needed something like this as I'm really starting to miss you guys! But only have got one and a half months to go and time continues flying by!
Ok, gotta go and do some shopping and tonight Timi is going to make a Hungarian dinner for me and Steph :D mmmm
Bye!
