Excerpt from Pennsylvania Tour to Mexico: Affording Four Weeks in the Land of the Aztecs The Moor left his monument to Spain in the Alhambra, the Aztec his to Mexico in the pyramid at Cholula. The American who travels has been a hunter after the antique as well as warm weather in winter, and when he could combine the two his journey was altogether a pleasure trip; he found them both in a mild way on the peninsula of Florida, but the old Castle of San Marco, at St. Augustine, was the most ancient ruin - in fact, was almost the only one the weather was warm enough, excepting an occasional norther, and the territory of pleasure travel attractive though some what limited. Gradually travel was extended to Cuba, and at last when the great railways to Mexico were completed a veritable Egypt of antiquities was found, and an Italy of sunny skies without crossing the seas; tourists were content and their number increased greatly.
