They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through, and Mexicans happily warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who end up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best – but those who venture (探险) inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico.

And it is a big soul. The Republic of Mexico is vast, consisting of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forest, mountains, and fertile plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges, the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City – the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas (半岛) in Mexico: the Baja Peninsula to the west and the Yucatan peninsula to the east.

The population is about 106 million, and the generosity (慷慨大方) of the Mexican people is unsurpassed. Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.

Mexico has been graced with an unusually temperate (适度的) climate all year round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes are present only in the north and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100℉. Mexico City has a year-round temperature in the high 80s, while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat, but rarely break down below a comfortable 60℉.

This recycled paper is turned into gifts like journals, diaries, note cards, and similar items. Just because they’re made from recycled paper doesn’t mean that they’re going to be plain or boring. Recycled paper can be dyed many colors and gifts can be made in a wide variety of styles and textures.

If you want to personalize these items, you can even have the receiver’s name printed on each item to make an extra-special gift. Many of these items can be made with natural fibers for an environmentally friendly gift that your loved one will enjoy for years.
     Giving environmentally friendly gifts is a great way to show friends and family members with a love of nature that you care about their interests. Even the simplest gift will be appreciated if it shows that you thought about what your loved one enjoys and gave them something that fits in with their environmentally friendly lifestyle.
