Dinosaurs
Did you know that the meteorite believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs crashed, 65 million years ago, in what is currently the village of Chicxulub on the coast of the Yucatan peninsula ?. The impact formed a crater of 180 kilometers in diameter that is currently buried at 600 meters deep. It was discovered in 1981 when Pemex workers were drilling for oil fields, detecting a sharp change in density at that depth.

Christmas.
Thursday, November 10, 2016.
Christmas is the period I like the most because it is when the temperatures go down, the holidays arrive and the stress goes away for a moment.
When Christmas arrives are moments of unity in the families, since there are families distanced by work as is the case of many Mexican homes that have long time without seeing their loved ones and those times are when they return home to enjoy a Family unit.
As for the food they consume, I like to boast my tastes for hot drinks in that season and very typical of each region, in itself, this winter season is a joy we have.
