Pobre Ana Moderna project

In my Spanish class, we have been reading a book called, ¨Pobre Ana¨. In the book, the main character Ana is going to travel to Nayarit, Mexico. Before I started this project, I knew nothing about the Spanish culture or geographic elements of it. When I was researching places you could visit, I found out for the first time that Mexico was separated into states. I never realized how many people lived in Mexico. In Mexico City alone, there is a population of around 8.855 million people. In the state of Jalisco, there is a population of 8.256 million, 1.495 million of those people take residence in Jalisco´s capital, Guadalajara. Ana, the main character in the book, will get on 2 connecting flights, one landing in Guadalajara, Jalisco that connects to her next flight that will land in Tepic, Nayarit with a population of 332,863. In my project, I had to research ten places people could visit. If I traveled to Mexico, I would definitely visit the city of La Paz in Baja California Sur, and Xcaret in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. I love going to beaches and exploring new cities so those two places would be perfect for me. I have learned so much from this project. Now, if anyone ever wanted to know if there were states in Mexico, I could answer that question.
