the lady of the dead

"The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico developed from ancient traditions among its pre-Columbian cultures. Rituals celebrating the deaths of ancestors had been observed by these civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500–3,000 years.^[10] The festival that developed into the modern Day of the Dead fell in the ninth month of the Aztec calendar, about the beginning of August, and was celebrated for an entire month. The festivities were dedicated to the goddess^[11] known as the "Lady of the Dead", corresponding to the modern La Calavera Catrina.

By the late 20th century in most regions of Mexico, the practices had developed to honor dead children and infants on November 1, and to honor deceased adults on November 2. November 1 is generally referred to as Día de los Inocentes ("Day of the Innocents") but also as Día de los Angelitos ("Day of the Little Angels"); November 2 is referred to as Día de los Muertos or Día de los Difuntos ("Day of the Dead"). ^[12]" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead#Observance_in_Mexico says the worlds worst encyclopaedia)

A friend of my dads, Michael Marr, (previously mentioned) said i should give some background about the day of the dead personal i disagree but to humour him i did so any way (for more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Day_of_the_Dead#Observance_in_Mexico <click here or if it doesn't work don't be lazy command c it) one cold winter morning three men (or one teen and two fifty year olds)(why must every story have three in it)(three pigs, three sisters, three bears etc.) woke, not all at once, it is rare something happens all at once, but nun the less they did. They all got dressed, they all got in a cab and they all drove the the airport. they where all heading to the same place, to he same hotel but not for the same reasons. The oldest one was there for business and a little bit of fun, the middle one was there for the occasion and the youngest one was there to see the world.
Well knowing me i like to make a story so obviously if u have a braincell or two u can tell who these people are and if u don't have a brain cell (i know a few that don't) these "three men" are me, dad and Mr Marr and if u haven't been concentrating or as i said before have no brain cells we are in Mexico City, Mexico. What for, the idiot reader may ask. for the day of he dead.
oh and also my second batch of photos with my camera.

^ MR. Marr ^

for the apocalypse loving reader don't get exited cause as i mentioned before "The Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico developed from ancient traditions among its pre-Columbian cultures." it is a celebration not a day where dead people rise form the graves craving brains.
Michael dad, a movie script writer currently working on the movie kungfu panda 3 (or 4)(Harry) where all in Mexico for this occasion that happens after halloween. 
Because we where there two days early we decided to do some site seeing.

and then when the day came we went we saw we did not conquer but we took pictures and video.

OH AND IT ALL LOOKS SPOOKIER IN BLACK AND WHITE

THE END

you can open your eyes now

other then eating at good restaurants and sleeping we saw some other sites such as 

> The grasshopper castle

 

Here i took some artsy photos and learnt about Spanish people who thought warts where fashionable

and an aztec museum where i sacrificed a goat on the sacrificial table. For realz. And a market 

cause who doesn't love pretty colourful skulls

And the day after Harry left to make Po meet his real father (whoops spoiler) (harry didn't tell us we kind of lured it out of him) we went and scaled some pyramids.

useless pyramids cause their only purpose is to get closer to the "Gods"

any way non the less it was fun and interesting (not necessarily the pyramids)

then we left Michael behind just before the Mexican riots started and went to VEGAS BABY
