Vacations... (Previous...)

Almost all my friends who speak Spanish speak English and no one of my friends who speak English speak Spanish, that's why I’m writing this for all of you in English, I hope you can forgive my spelling and you can understand everything.

First, I have to start explaining that I love my Country, so I will tell you something more about México.

México is a country located in North America, bordered at the north by the United States, and at the south by Central America with Guatemala and Belize (so please DON’T call us South America we are North America).

Covering almost 2 million km² makes one of the largest countries in America and the 15th worldwide. It is also the 11th most populous country with approximately 108 million people.

Our Country riches not only consist in the nature, we have locations of petroleum and there was a time when we had gold and silver in abundance, but was extracted by Spaniard.

Also you can find different ecosystems as jungle, forest, desert, beach a long the country; we have a great weather!!

The Tropic of Cancer effectively divides the country into temperate and tropical zones. Land North of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences cooler temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation.

Areas south of the twentieth-fourth parallel with elevations up to 1,000 meters (the southern parts of both coastal plains as well as the Yucatán Peninsula), have a yearly median temperature between 24°C and 28°C. Temperatures here remain high throughout the year, with only a 5°C difference between winter and summer median temperatures. Although low-lying areas north of the twentieth-fourth parallel are hot and humid during the summer, they generally have lower yearly temperature averages (from 20°C to 24°C) because of more moderate conditions during the winter.

The following map presents the 31 Mexican states and highlights the typical non-official geographical organization of them:

1. Aguascalientes 17. Nayarit

2. Baja California 18. Nuevo León

3. Baja California Sur 19. Oaxaca
4. Campeche 20. Puebla
5. Chiapas 21. Querétaro
6. Chihuahua 22. Quintana Roo
7. Coahuila 23. San Luis Potosí 8. Colima 24. Sinaloa
9. Durango 25. Sonora
10. Guanajuato 26. Tabasco
11. Guerrero 27. Tamaulipas
12. Hidalgo 28. Tlaxcala
13. Jalisco 29. Veracruz
14. México 30. Yucatán
15. Michoacán 31. Zacatecas

16. Morelos

Mexico’s capital is Mexico City - Federal District (or Distrito Federal, DF as we named) which is one of the largest cities on earth, located in Center South, have close than 19.23 million chilangos, business centers, Museums, Theaters, Cinemas, markets and everything you want you can find it here (Btw, I’m one of the 19.23 millions).

Mexico has a mixed economy. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, a strong export sector, Free Trade Agreements more than any country in the world (more than forty).

Tourism in Mexico is a large industry, the third in importance. The most notable tourist draws are the ancient Meso-American ruins, and popular beach resorts. The coastal climate and unique culture – a fusion of the European (particularly Spanish) and the Meso-American – also make Mexico attractive.
