La Clima
For half of the year the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, but the southern hemisphere tilts toward the sun. In this time of year, it is winter in the North and summer in the South. When the United States and Canada have winter snow, people in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile will be enjoying summer. The Earth's tilt changes the opposite way the other half of the year.
Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean countries are warm all year round. There are mountains in Mexico and Central America where it gets very cold, but the cold is from the altitude, not from the season. The dry season is verano and the rainy season is invierno.
The Celsius system is based on the properties of water. In Celsius, the freezing point is 0° and the boiling point is 100°. In Fahrenheit, the freezing point is 32° and the boiling point is 212° degrees.

La Economía de México
México is smaller than the United State. México covers about three times the area of Texas.
Mexico is a popular tourist attraction because of Mexico's beautiful countryside, beaches, and historical sites.
México has tropical and subtropical regions, as well as woodlands and deserts. This diverse terrain produces both crops and valuable natural resources.
México makes most of its revenue through mining, manufacturing, and tourism.
3 of Mexico’s major exports are cotton, coffee, and tomato.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, which was developed in 1994 to increase trade throughout North America. This agreement allows trade to pass freely between México, the United States, and Canada. NAFTA has increased trade between the United States and México. Today, both countries openly benefit from each others' products.

Antoni Gaudí
Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) was an influential architect. He is known as the leader of the Spanish modernist movement. His progressive ideas about art were both revolutionary yet beloved. Gaudí lived most of his life in Barcelona, Spain. Gaudí designed beautiful and unique structures throughout the streets of Barcelona.
One of Gaudí's most famous works is La Sagrada Familia. La Sagrada Familia is a Roman Catholic church in Barcelona. Construction was first begun in 1882, and is still going on to this day. Gaudí dedicated forty years of his life to the completion of the church. He died in 1926, before the building was even half done. Other architects are now working to finish the church, following the notes and vision that Gaudí left behind. The estimated date of completion for the church is 2026.
The Casa Milá has 15 apartments, each with an unusual design. Gaudí's buildings look like natural, living things and have many curves instead of right angles. Gaudí also designed a series of gardens with fantastic architectural elements, known as Parc Guell. The park was originally designed as a garden and residence for wealthy aristocratic citizens. Today, however, these gardens are a fun public park.

Las cocinas mexicanas y españolas.
Chocolate, chili, vanilla, corn, beans, squash, and cactus are some of the foods grown by the Maya & Aztecs in Mexico.

The northern city of Monterrey is famous for its cabrito which is roasted goats. The city of Tequila in the state of Jalisco is famous for drinks made with the maguey, a local agave cactus. The Maya living on the Yucatan peninsula still make a popular dish called cochinita pibil, pork baked in banana leaves.
