TV show about crime!

I really like to watch a crime TV show called Without a trace. I don't have any particular episode in special to talk about, I just like the TV show in general. This is about people that disappear and some specialists investigate about how they could be find the victim. They look for any hint that can be useful to solve the crime.For me is very interesting how the investigators handle with the fact of no to have any hint at the beginning of the investigation.

Dead´s Day

I read an article about the Dead´s Day that is celebrated every year in Mexico. This celebration is in the same day of the catholic celebration, All Saint´s Day, in November 2nd. 

At the beginning, this was a festival that was commemorated in the ninth  month of the Mexican calendar. These parties were directed by a goddess called  Mictecacíhuatl known as "The Lady of the dead". 

Mexicans have a lot of rituals and symbolisms around of this day, to venerate it, honor it and also to scary about it.

I think that this celebration is very interesting but I prefer to celebrate All Saint´s Day because its more important and more respectful for relatives that have died.
