To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You will then discover another short but very broad, flight of steps leading to a small stone building with a gateway. This is the entrance to the Cemetery of Tepeyac. It is difficult to describe the charm and repose that attach to this little cemetery. Not far from the entrance, under a rather insignificant monument, are the remains of the great Mexican general, Santa Ana. With the exception of the Castle of Chapul- tepec and the tower of the Cathedral, there is no place in the City which affo...rds such an exqui- site view. If the day is clear both Popocate- petl and Ixtaccihuatl stand out in monumental splendor. The latter word means in the Aztec language, "white woman, " on account of a no- ticeable resemblance to the figure of a woman lying face upward. There is a pretty story connected with this mountain that recently ap- peared in Modern Mexico. The gist of the story is as follows: The white woman was the wife of the War God, Huitzilopochtli. He was already old and she was very young when they were married.
