Hi, I'm Maarit, and welcome to Xcanatun, my favorite city in Mexico. For a small town, Xcanatun has an amazing history that goes be
 thousands of years.
 The walls of my house are made from stones that were found in the area. They were once used by an ancient Maya tribe to build th
 beautiful temples and carvings. Through these stones I feel connected to my remarkable ancestors.
 My family tends animals and farms the land. We grow sweet potatoes, corn, beans, chilies, and squash, just as our Maya ancestors
 doing for thousands of years.
