The holiday is celebrated each year on November 1-2. I really love this festival because you are celebrating the dead rather than being sad they’re gone, it is also very beautiful. ]]> 2019-05-08 14:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358065634 carroyo19 https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358069900 Personally, I know that Mexican food is diverse and depends from what region in Mexico the food is from, one of my favorite foods comes from Mexico City, it is called pambazos. Basically a pambazo is  a Mexican wet sandwich, it filled with potatos and meat of your choice. It is also topped with cheese and sour cream. ]]> 2019-05-08 14:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358069900 carroyo19 https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358073909 Frida Kahlo de Rivera was a Mexican artist who painted many portraits, self-portraits and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico.

It has been influenced by a variety of cultures, most notably the culture of the indigenous peoples of Mexico and Europe. Some styles include, nortenas, mariachi, corridos, latin pop and more. Personally Bachata is my favorite since the dances are beautiful. ]]> 2019-05-09 03:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358315200 carroyo19 https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358318053 Some of Mexicos iconic wear are : Ponchos, pointed boots, sombrero,
huaraches and serapes.
Huaraches are  simple leather-woven sandals that date back to pre-hispanic colonialism.
Serapes are between a shawl, a blanket, and poncho. It was originally worn by farmers and shepherds in highland regions of the country.
Pictured below is a serape.

There is a diversity in architecture: cathedrals, pyramids made during the pre-Hispanic times, historical buildings and modern structures. Personally I am fascinated in the pyramids, I've always wanted to visit these sites. ]]> 2019-05-09 03:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358321322 carroyo19 https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358322512 2019-05-09 03:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/carroyo19/3ln2wyq3rbn/wish/358322512
