Last year Eva and her family visited Mexico. This is how the trip was: First we went to Chihuahua, the capital of the state of Chihuahua in the north of the country. We stayed two days there and saw many historical monuments. Then we went by bus to the Mexico City, one of the largest cities in the world. From Mexico City, we went on a day trip to Teotihuacán, the "city of the gods" of the Aztecs. We saw the Pyramid of the Sun. It was impressive. Another day we visit the capital Azteca, Tenochtitlán, which today is part of a neighborhood in Mexico City. Mexico City was founded on the Aztec capital. From Mexico City we traveled several hours by bus before arriving in Oaxaca, a very beautiful colonial city. Oaxaca is famous for chocolate and we bought quite a few products from Mayordomo brand. We also tried the famous mole, which is a chocolate sauce eaten with chicken. I LOVE chocolate. We finally went to the sea, to the tourist city of Cancun. There we enjoyed a few days at the beach.
The holiday is nearly as significant as Christmas in many Spanish-speaking regions like Puerto Rico, Spain, and Latin America, and is also celebrated in other predominately Christian nations like Russia.
