Finding the Way Back to Ohtli at the CasaMagna Marriott
by Craig Zabransky on March 27, 2012 in Destination, Mexico Travel, Reflection
I wanted to return. I can tell you the house made tequila was the main reason, but to be honest, my return trip was for another experience – the spa. Ohtli, the name of the spa, means “the path” in the native Nahuatl language. Apparently I desired a return to the path. I am no […]

As we enter July for some the year is half over, for others half the year awaits. With that in mind I decided to take a pause and review Sunset Sunday posts to see where we traveled, how it measured up against what I planned, and finally where we need to go in the next […]
Writing About the True Danger of ‘Mexico Today’
by Craig Zabransky on June 30, 2011 in Events, Mexico Travel, Reflection
I recall looking out the window and seeing nothing but urban sprawl as far as the eye could see; it was Mexico City. When I first set off on assignment to the city of over twenty million, I wondered why I agreed. Everyone I knew warned me about the dangers lurking in the capital city. […]
