Hello From Mexico City - A Relaxing Evening In Coyoacán

Last night after our big first discovery of Mexico City I had a couple of hours of rest before Vanessa and her mom took me to one of the most picturesque areas in the city: Coyoacán, an area located south of the downtown core. The traffic to get there, as you can imagine, was absolutely incredible – 4 lane streets with no markings, people squeezing in and out between cars as they pleased, trucks cutting in right in front of us with just millimeters to spare…

Fortunately we made it without a scrape and we finally got to our destination: the well-preserved colonial area of “Coyoacán” whose name literally means “Place of the Coyotes”. Sure enough, in the center of the Jardín Centenario there is a big fountain featuring two coyotes.

Coyoacán is one of the most historic areas of Mexico City and almost 5 centuries ago, Hernán Cortés, Mexico’s conquistador, and his Indian mistress “La Malinche” spent a lot of time here. Today the whole area is full of cafés, restaurants and bars, and there are a variety of crafts and food markets to be visited here.

Three famous personalities had their homes here and all three buildings have been turned into museums. The house of Mexico’s most famous muralist, Diego Rivera, has been turned into a museum. His one-time wife, Frida Kahlo, also lived in Coyoacán and spent most of her life in this house and eventually died here. Her ex-husband Rivera donated the house to the public in 1955, shortly after Frida’s death.

Leon Trotsky, the Russian revolutionary, also lived in a house in the Coyoacán area after he had lived with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Trotsky invested great efforts to safety-proof his house to protect him from Stalin’s assassins, yet in May of 1940 his house was attacked and machine-gunned for twenty minutes. Then 3 months later Trotsky was fatally wounded after having been stabbed with an ice pick. So Coyoacán has some pretty interesting historic tidbits to offer.

We sat down in a quaint café next to the Jardín Centenario and had some snacks. I enjoyed a crepe with a variety of syrups such as strawberry, mango and blueberry. Vanessa’s best friend, whom she has known since they were 12 years old, and her boyfriend, a sociologist, joined us. There was lots of noise: live music coming at us from behind us in the restaurant, from the restaurant next to us and from the street musicians that would stop right in front of our table.

Social sciences always hold great interest for me, so I took advantage of the opportunity of talking with a sociologist. We had a very interesting conversation about how tough it is to find a job in his field under a government that has a "neoliberal" agenda. According to him, the social sciences are not funded very well in Mexico, but a lot of funding is dedicated to private universities for engineering and science projects. He also gave me a quick overview of Mexico’s political parties, very interesting since national elections are coming up on July 2 of this year.

After our animated discussion we returned to rest up for another big day of discoveries tomorrow.

BONUS : Helpful Household Hints: How to Make a Relaxing Bath and More

In today’s article of helpful household hints, we will be talking about two ways to make your guests feel welcome. First, we will be discussing how to make a relaxing bath that your guests can either enjoy or take home with them after their stay. And then we will be giving advice on how to decorate a guest bathroom to make anyone feel right at home.

Handmade expressions are always a welcome gesture for guests in your home. Let’s start the pampering for your guests with how to make a relaxing bath with ingredients you may even have in your kitchen. You can start with plain rock salt that you may be using in a salt grinder for your foods. The bigger the salt grains the better because it looks beautiful and cleanses the skin more effectively.

To the salt you can add any of a multitude of herbs—lavender, lemongrass, chamomile—or dried flowers—roses, daisies, etc. Mix 1 cup of the rock salt (or you can choose Epsom salt) with the ingredients that you have chosen. The more ingredients you use, the more fragrant the bath mixture. You can even go to the local health food store to find organic herbs and flowers that can be used in the process of how to make a relaxing bath.

One of the helpful household hints in how to make a relaxing bath is to add a touch of your favorite perfume or essential oil. This can add even more depth to the fragrance that the dried flowers will release when added to a hot bath. Put the mixture in a pretty jar or bottle and you also have a great addition in how to decorate a guest bathroom as well.

Another one of the more helpful household hints in how to make a relaxing bath is to start with a muslin or another dye-free cloth bag. Into this, you can add all of the fragrant herbs again, but without the salt or the perfumes. This bag can then be put into a hot bath like a tea bag, or used as a sachet for your guest’s clothes. Again, you want to be sure that the bag is not colored with dye because that can leak out during a bath and stain the tub as well as your guest.

And there is still another way in how to make a relaxing bath for your guest. You will need unfragranced oil for this recipe and a little more time. Pour the oil into a beautiful jar or bottle. Next, you can add dried herbs to the mixture. Be sure to pick ones that look pretty as well as smell good. Put the cork or the top on the jar and let it sit in a cool area for a few weeks. The fragrance from the flowers will pervade into the oil, making for a relaxing bath oil.

When it comes to helpful household hints in how to decorate a guest bathroom, it’s the little things that will matter the most. Think about things that a guest might need—lotion (Rich Moisture Cream), a mirror (Clear Reflections Mirror), shampoo and conditioner, a comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, or even a lint brush for their clothing (Reversible Lint Brush). Make a list of things that your guest might need while they stay with you. Who hasn’t forgotten something when they’re gone to visit a friend or a relative? By taking the time to think about your guest’s needs, you will make a great impression for future stays.

When you’re deciding how to decorate a guest bathroom, you want to consider making your guest feel special. A nice basket that contains all of the items that you gathered—along with instructions on how to make a relaxing bath--will give your guest a feeling of royalty and not imposition. You are quietly saying that you appreciate that they traveled to see you and that you hope that they will enjoy their time as your guest.

Make sure that you have plenty of towels, maybe even a bathrobe on hand and your guest bathroom is finished. You will also want to keep the guest bathroom clean throughout the stay. Try to wipe everything down at least once per day. Now that you have learned how to make a relaxing bath and how to decorate a guest bathroom, you should be ready for anyone to visit—even your in-laws!
