"All I can say is that walking into the cool sanctuary of Magdalena's Bed and Breakfast in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, after a sunny three-block walk from the town center, and eyeing a tall drippy pitcher of the barely green iced drink, I knew I was about to douse my dehydrated disposition.
    Eva Garcia Jimenez is the friendly bilingual proprietress of Magdalena's who will not only offer you the refreshing drink along with a comfortable bed, but an authentic Mexican breakfast and even a lesson on how to cook it, if you ask."
