Where to eat.
Somewhere to the west, about 35 minutes outside of Mexico City is a recreation area known as La Marquesa. Different "Valles" offer a range of outdoorsy things to do, like horseback riding, ATV racing, water slides and quite a bit more. There's even this thing they call Gotcha that looks suspiciously like paintball.
Of course, things outdoors would not be complete without the great pastimes of eating and drinking and all of the Valles offer plenty in that arena as well. The weather is bright, sunny and cool, making for the ideal conditions to cover yourself in dust from the trails or track and then sit down for some serious eating.

I am dying of envy. I was craving sopa de hongos like the one they make at La Marquesa and while looking for a recipe I found your blog. It looks like a great place to go. Thank you for sharing the photos. Now, if I could find that recipe.....
