We just learned about the Mexico state Baja California on the northwest part of Mexico.
Another Mexico State is Sinaloa.
This state borders the Gulf of California, which is a gulf on the west part of Mexico, and it also borders the Pacific Ocean.

The oldest sport in the world to use a rubber ball is the Mesoamerican ballgame, where people would play on a court and hit a rubber ball around.
In Sinaloa they still play a type of game like that one, called ulama, where people have to hit the ball with their hips to keep it moving on the court.

There are many large rivers that go through the state.
The three largest are the Culiacán, Fuerte, and Sinaloa.
