Esta es una fiesta de gran colorido. En vísperas de la conmemoración, muchas familias levantan altares donde brilla el naranja de las flores de cempasúchil, las banderitas de colores de papel picado, además de comida y bebida que añaden tonalidades multicolores a esta festividad. De igual manera, los panteones se visten de gala en espera de la visita de los fieles difuntos, así como de los miles de personas que viajan a sus poblados nativos para celebrar con sus "muertitos". EL 1º de noviembre se celebra a los "muertos chiquitos", las animas de los niños muertos. En los altares y en las tumbas se dejan juguetes, dulces, chocolates y miel para endulzar su visita a la tierra. El regreso de las ánimas de los adultos se prevé para la noche siguiente, y para quienes se prepara un delicioso refrigerio. Entre los platos tradicionales se encuentra el "pan de muerto" (pan redondo cubierto de azúcar), el pulque, mole, tamales y atole. Esta celebración no falta quien lleve sus "cigarritos" y su botella de mezcal al difunto. Días antes de estas fechas, las panaderías decoran sus vitrinas con escenas cómicas de familias de esqueletos disfrutando un exquisito "pan de muerto". En los mercados tradicionales brilla todo tipo imaginable de juguetes, adornos y dulces alusivos a la muerte. Hoy voy a ir a Coyoacán, barrio antiguo de la ciudad de México que vive las tradiciones día a día. Ahí está, además de su plaza, catedral y mercado de antojitos, el Museo de Culturas Populares, donde ya tiene una semana que vive el "Día de Muertos". Nos vemos pronto! ----Formal English---- Today Mexico begins the Day of the Dead festivities. This is a very colorful celebration. On the eve of the commemoration, many families raise altars where the orange of marigolds and multicolored paper flags shine, in addition to food and beverages which add a variety of hues to this celebration. In the same way, the pantheons wear their best, waiting for the visit of the loyal deceased ones, along with the thousands of people who travel to their hometowns to celebrate with their \\\"dearly deceased\\\". On November 1st, the "muertos chiquitos" are celebrated, the spirits of deceased children. Toys, candies, chocolates and honey are placed on the altars and the graves to sweeten their visit to the earth. The return of the adult spirits is anticipated for the following night, form whom a delicious snack is prepared. Among traditional the dishes, there is \\\"bread of the dead\\\" (a round bread covered with sugar), "pulque", "mole", "tamales"-, and "atole". This celebration is not at a loss for someone who may take their little cigars, and a bottle of Mezcal to the deceased. Days before this time, bakeries decorate their showcases with humorous scenes of skeleton families enjoying an exquisite \\\"bread of the dead\\\". In traditional markets, all imaginable kinds of toys, decorations and candies allusive to the death shine. Today, I am going to go to Coyoacan, an old district in Mexico City that lives out the traditions day to day. Besides the beautiful "plaza", cathedral and specialty market, there is the Museum of Popular Cultures, where the Day of Dead has already been "living" for a week now.

Según el taxista ésta es la dirección que le dimos. ¿Tocamos? Gustavo: Preguntando se llega a Roma; claro. Y si no es pero hay fiesta nos hacemos los invitados de alguien más. Manuel: No no, hombre. Ni que tuvieramos quince años. Ya estamos maduros para andar haciendo ese tipo de cosas. Gustavo: ¿Qué tiene? Mira, a esta edad tenemos más facilidad de armarnos una conversación chida. Neta. Aparte, traemos algo para la fiesta y eso siempre se aprecia. Manuel: Obvio. Aun así, tocamos, vemos si es aquí, y si no, preguntamos si saben dónde viven Luis y Jimena. ----Formal English---- Manuel: Is the party here? According to the taxi driver, this is the address that we told him. Do we knock? Gustavo: Of course, you won\'t know unless you ask. And if it\'s not, but there\'s a party, we\'ll become somebody else\'s guests. Manuel: No no, dude. It\'s not like we\'re fifteen years old. We\'re too mature to be going around doing that type of thing. Gustavo: What\'s wrong with it? Look, at this age we\'re more skilled at starting a good conversation. For real. Besides, we\'re bringing something to the party, and that\'s always appreciated. Manuel: Obviously. Even so, we\'ll knock, see whether it\'s here, and if not, we\'ll ask if they know where Luis and Jimena live. --------------------------- Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101!

Se ve que se están llevando de poca. Jimena: ¡Lo sé! Sabía que ésto iba a pasar. Qué buena onda, la verdad. A parte, como viven cerca es fácil que se vean seguido. Luis: Bueno, tú eres toda una cúpida. Así me flechaste de seguro, ¿verdad, chiquita? Jimena: Te dejé conquistarme, que es otra cosa. Te morías por estar conmigo. No te hagas. Luis: Uy sí… Eras tú la que no dejaba de hablarme y querer estar conmigo todo el tiempo. Pero no te culpo: soy irresistible. Jimena: Ahora resulta que tú eres el exquisito. En fin. Después platicamos largo y tendido de quién conquistó a quién. Ahorita tenemos que asegurar que Andrea y Jorge se la pasen de lo mejor. Luis: Óyeme, si somos sus amigos, no un servicio de citas. ----Formal English---- Luis: How are Jorge and Andrea? Looks like they\'re getting along great. Jimena: I know! I knew this was going to happen. How awesome, really. Also, since they live near each other, it\'s easy for them to see each other often. Luis: Well, you\'re quite the Cupid. That\'s how you hooked me for sure, right, baby? Jimena: I let you win me over, which is different. You were dying to be with me. Knock it off. Luis: Oh yeah. It was you who kept talking to me and kept wanting to be with me all the time. But I don\'t blame you—I\'m irresistible. Jimena: Oh, so now YOU\'re the big catch. Anyway, later on we\'ll have a long and extended discussion about who won over whom. Right now we need to make sure Jorge and Andrea hit it off. Luis: Hey, we\'re their friends, not a dating service. --------------------------- Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101!

Andrea: ¿Te viniste a rodear de talento o viniste a contribuír más al talento? Alfredo: Depende con qué ojos me ves. En realidad pueden ser las dos cosas, ¿no crees? Jimena: Alfredo, conociéndote, viniste a rodearte de talento. Pero Andrea, es buena tu pregunta. Yo agregaría el hecho de que Alfredo recién se divorció. ----Formal English---- Jorge: What brought you to this city, Alfredo? Alfredo: It was a series of reasons.

Jimena: Alfredo, knowing you, you came to surround yourself with talent. But Andrea, it\'s a good question. I would add the fact that Alfredo just got divorced recently. --------------------------- Learn Spanish with SpanishPod101!
