What is Mexico rainy or windy?
Both:
Places such as the Sonoran desert are very dry, with rain averages between 300 and 600 millimeters (12-24 inches) per year. Low-lying areas along the Gulf of Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula receive in excess of 1,000 millimeters (40 inches) of rainfall in an average year.
There are places in Mexico where wind is a rarity, such as the Chihuahuan desert in northern Mexico; there are other places such as La Venta, Oaxaca (southern Mexico) where wind speeds average 36 km/h (22 mi/h) all the time, allowing good sites for wind farms.

Are Mexicans ashamed of their indian heritage?
Most of them do. This is one of the traits inherited by Spanish colonialism, where the society was segregated and had marked differences among classes, which more often than not, were defined by race alone:
- At the top of the society were the Peninsulares, or people born in Spain.
- They were followed by criollos, or people of European ancestry born in the Americas.
- In a distant third were the mestizos, or people born out of interracial marriages between Spanish and Native American Tlaxcalans, who helped Hernan Cortes conquer the Aztec Empire in 1521.
- On the fourth spot were the Native Americans (Mayan, Nahuatl or other minor ethnic groups) who were almost annihilated during colonial times due to disease and slavery.
- Finally, people of African ancestry who were brought to Mexico to man plantations and mines in southern and eastern Mexico.

What do you need to drive from Texas to Mexico especially for children?
== == 1 You should always bring lots of bottled water. If you have very small children, you might consider bringing cans of formula -- if you used the powdered kind, be sure you don't forget to mix it with the bottled water. Use the bottled water for anything and everything...even brushing your teeth and rinsing your toothbrushes. DO NOT drink any water unless it comes from a sealed bottle. And try to stick with brands you are familiar with. Better to spend a bit more on Evian than end up with dysentery or whatever. 2 Antibacterial wipes or hand cleaner are very useful. Purell is a good brand of hand cleaner and comes in different sized bottles from large family sizes to mini bottles that fit nicely in a purse or pocket. And Johnson & Johnson makes antibacterial towelettes that are handy and gentle on the skin. 3 You should also probably bring medication for diarrhea. Both adult and children's strength formulas. 4 It wouldn't hurt to make sure immunizations and vaccinations are up to date for the children and for yourself. It might also be a good idea to bring a copy of your child's medical records - including immunization record, info about existing allergies or conditions, etc. Sure, this may sound a little 'over the top' but personally, I'd rather be prepared for any emergency. Heck, while you are at it include a recent photo of your child and a set of fingerprints. Not just for a trip to Mexico! A small packet with this info in it doesn't take up much room, just stick it in the glove compartment so you'll always have it with you. Just don't forget to update it often. 5 And you will need either a passport OR a birth certificate for every member of your party. At least, this was sufficient the last time I checked...but it's been a while. Things change. To be sure ask a travel agent or maybe check the INS/CIS website. They are bound to have the necessary info on what will be required to make a border crossing. UPDATE: A passport is needed to re-enter the US from Mexico.
it leads to conclusions that are not debatable and is too narrow a topic.

What type of vegetation grows naturally around Mexico City?
Mexico City (19° 25' 57.85'' N, 99° 07' 59.71'' W) is located within a valley that has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb), due to its tropical location and high elevation of 2,240 meters (7,349 feet) above sea level. The lower region of the valley is composed mainly of grassland that receives less rainfall than the upper regions of the south; the upper southern region is a mountainous region of pine and oak trees known as the range of Ajusco.
