About my town

Hi everyone.  I'd like to write about my town in Puebla, Mexico, "Xicotepec de Juarez"...the name means "En el Cerro de los Xicotes", which translates to something like "in the Hill of Xicotes". (Xicotes by the way is a small insect yellow and black insect*, pretty much like the bee).**  The name has his its*** roots in Nahuatl, an Aztecas dialect. It is a small, but very pretty* town of about 50,000 people.  One thing that is not well known about it, is that it has one of the only two prehispanic temples still in use today in latinoamerica.** The other one is in Peru.  I must confess, physically it is not impressive, but his its*** heritage is undeniable. Another curious thing is that when Venustiano Carranza (the Mexican president in during the Mexican Revolution) was escaping to Veracruz, he was killed near here and at that time here this was the nearest place where his funeral could be attended held. so for that event For this reason, it was named Capital of Mexico for one day. 

* All adjectives come before the noun, even a list of them eg, a large, black and very dangerous object.

**In English we generally use a full-stop (Br) or period (Am) to finish an idea and start a new sentence with a capital for the next idea.

*** For an object, place or unnamed animal we use the pronoun 'it' instead of his/hers.

Great, expressive writing - keep it up!

Thank you for reading it and any correction or suggestion is welcomed.
