(MALIN+GOETZ)

Since Puebla, we've been on a lot of really amazing adventures in Tlaxco and Zacatlan de las Manzanas. Apparently no tourists really ever venture to that area! It was so idyllic and rustic -- people still travel by horses there and we rarely had internet connection, hence the lack of updates in the last week. We met some real Mexican cowboys who led us through the most beautiful landscape on caballos (my first time ever riding one). I'll post details and pictures later.

We just got to the Condesa DF in Mexico City and it's gorgeous -- right on the corner of two streets overlooking the Parque España in the Condesa borough. We're in the corner suite so the view of the park is amazing. Condesa DF is a member of the same hotel group as La Purificadora in Puebla -- the reason we're staying with this group is because they're one of the Very few hotels around this area that allow pets.

I loved La Purificadora (and its food) but Condesa DF beats them out by the WIFI connectivity (it was really bad at LP) and the fact that the amenities are from (MALIN+GOETZ) (!!!) just amazing.

I am completely obsessed. I love the vitamin b5 body moisturizer (my hands are So soft right now) and the peppermint soap. The peppermint shampoo, cilantro conditioner, and rum body wash are the best things that have ever happened to my morning. The combination completely awakens the senses and they All smell amazing. I'm already on the website prowling for more goodies - right now, my eyes are on the mojito candle and grapefruit face cleanser.
