Excerpt from A Little Journey to Mexico, for Intermediate and Upper GradesTo travelers just returned from a country where the climate is mild our March weather seems a bit disagreeable.Why not take this time, then, for a little journey to Aztec Land? - a land with a history more fascinating and wonderful than any fairy tale or romance you ever read.There we shall find June days the year round, and snow-covered mountains to use as toboggan slides when we wish a change. We may make our rooms lovely and fragrant with roses and violets gathered from gardens in December, pluck oranges and bananas from trees and eat strawberries every day in the year.In no country in the world should we be able to find a more interesting, picturesque people, more beautiful scenery or more novel experiences.Then, too, there is no long ocean voyage, with possible sea-sickness, to be dreaded. A three day's ride in a Pullman car will take us to this country, for it is our next-door neighbor and sister republic - Mexico.Why is it called Aztec Land? Ah, that is a long story, and one I shall not try to tell here. If I should, you would quickly forget it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
