Archeological site of El Tajin:
El Tajín is a pre-Columbian archeological site in southern Mexico and is one of the largest and most important cities of the Classic era of Mesoamerica. El Tajín flourished from 600 to 1200 C.E. and during this time numerous temples, palaces, ballcourts, and pyramids were built. From the time the city fell, in 1230, to 1785, no European seems to have known of its existence. El Tajín was named a World Heritage site in 1992, due to its cultural importance and its architecture. This architecture includes the use of decorative niches and cement in forms unknown in the rest of Mesoamerica. Its best-known monument is the Pyramid of the Niches, but other important monuments include the Arroyo Group, the North and South Ballcourts and the palaces of Tajín Chico. In total there have been 20 ballcourts discovered at this site (the last 3 being discovered in March 2013). Since the 1970s, El Tajin has been the most important archeological site in Veracruz for tourists, attracting over 650,000 visitors a year.
Papantla (Pueblo Mágico):
Papantla is a beautiful town located in the north of the state of Veracruz. The city was founded in the 13th century by the Totonacs and has dominated the Totonacapan region of the state since then. This is the home of vanilla, which is native to this region and the Danza de los Voladores. Papantla still has strong communities of Totonacs who maintain the culture and language. The city contains a number of large scale murals and sculptures which honor the Totonac culture. The name Papantla is from Nahuatl and most often interpreted to mean place of the papanes (a species of crow). This meaning is reflected in the municipality’s coat of arms.
Tecolutla:
Tecolutla is a town and municipality located on the Tecolutla River on the eastern coast of the state of Veracruz in Mexico. It has the closest beaches to Mexico City as it is only a four or five-hour drive from the capital. It is along the Gulf of Mexico called the “Emerald Coast”. Tecolutla’s biggest attraction is its natural settings of wetlands with estuaries, canals and mangroves associated with the river. The name Tecolutla means “place of the tecolotes or owls´.

STORYLINE:
Tropical Storm Larry hit the southern coast of the Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, forcing hundreds of people to flee to shelters.
Mexico has been bracing for three storms along its coasts this weekend.
Tropical Storm Larry is considered the most dangerous, but officials were also keeping a close eye on Olaf, which strengthened to a hurricane Sunday.
Olaf was moving parallel to the Pacific coast 145 miles (235 kilometers) south of Manzanillo, but a change of course could easily bring the hurricane onshore, the National Hurricane Center in Miami warned.
A second hurricane, Nora, was churning far off the southern tip of Baja California in the Pacific and was expected to weaken as it moves closer to land in the coming days.
Forecasts show that Nora and Olaf could both reach the Baja California peninsula, which already has withstood two hurricanes this season.
Larry, meanwhile, moved inland over Tabasco state and was located about 55 miles (88 kilometers) east of the industrial city of Coatzacoalcos, where it provoked floods in an already saturated region.
Alarmed by the driving winds and rain, Alicia Tejera left her home in Malatinero before dawn Sunday carrying a two-day-old child in her arms.
The tropical storm turned the fishing village Isla Paraiso into a ghost town, with water standing three-feet deep in some houses.
The storm's winds weakened steadily as it moved inland to 40 mph (65 kph) and Larry was expected to be downgraded to a tropical depression by late Sunday. Larry crept south at two miles per hour toward the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca and could reach the Gulf of Tehuantepec on the Pacific Coast.
In Chiapas, authorities prepared 300 storm shelters for public use on Sunday as a safeguard against flooding.
Heavy rains could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides, the hurricane center warned. It predicted rainfall of between eight inches and twelve inches with even higher amounts in some locations hit by the storm.
The precipitation comes on top of a heavy monsoon season that produced swollen rivers and reservoirs.
The Mexican Army assisted people who chose to leave their homes, but the state of Tabasco held off on full-scale evacuations.
Three major ports along the Gulf's southern coast also were closed.
A hurricane watch was canceled on Sunday, but a tropical storm warning remained in effect from the city of Veracruz to Ciudad del Carmen.
Meanwhile, the Mexican government issued a hurricane warning for Mexico's Pacific coast as Olaf packed winds of 75 mph and was expected to strengthen over the next several days.
Authorities issued a warning for Punta San Telmo to San Blas, and a broader tropical storm warning from San Telmo to Lazaro Cardenas. Olaf was moving northwest at 10 mph.
Mexico also was keeping a watchful eye on Hurricane Nora, far out in the Pacific.
While Nora's winds reached 105 mph over the weekend, the hurricane was expected to weaken as it slowly turns north toward the coast of the Baja California peninsula later in the week.
Hurricane Kate, meanwhile, was still churning out in the Atlantic, far from land, but it weakened slightly with winds dropping from 115 mph to 100 mph Sunday.
Kate was expected to continue weakening as it moves closer to Newfoundland in eastern Canada sometime Tuesday.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
