To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The English or American traveller, used to the com- forts and conveniences of his own well-kept taverns, meets with but a sorry reception and miserable fare at the Mexican house of entertainment, or meson, as it is called. They are all built in the same style, the en- trance being through a large gate or passage-way which leads into a patio, or court, in the interior. On either side of this yard are the rooms set apart for the reception of travellers. Another passage leads from this into the ya...rd which his beast occupies, and which has a large trough of water in the centre, with uncom- fortable stalls on the sides. The tired wayfarer is con- ducted to his room ; but no friendly bed meets his anx- ious gaze. He sees, perhaps, a species of form, built of adobes and mortar, upon which he can spread his sarape, or Mexican blanket, and himself; or, mayhap, a corner of the floor is pointed out to him as a favourite spot on which to establish himself for the night ; neither bed nor bedding is provided by the landlord.
