Key Features
The Infiniti M® Hybrid
Challenge expectation.
Defy convention.
We believe that luxury should always thrill, and never sedate.
Hybrid Duel Behind the Scenes
Infiniti M® Hybrid
The high performance hybrid has arrived. Masterfully crafted to deliver 360 horsepower while maintaining an impressive 32 mpg, the M Hybrid is pure exhilaration in a world of uninspired hybrids. Designed with emotion in mind, the M Hybrid features an array of innovations created explicitly for an experience that will leave you breathless.
3.5-L V6 Hybrid Powertrain
With the innovation of the Infiniti Direct Response Hybrid® system, the Infiniti M® Hybrid is able to deliver the power of a luxury V8 with the fuel economy of a four-cylinder. Featuring a 1 motor, 2 clutch parallel hybrid powertrain, the M Hybrid is able to go from 0-60 in less than six seconds and capable of driving in pure electric mode up to 62 mph. High-speed motor control technology enables seamless transition between the combustion engine and electric motor, providing a smooth and responsive ride that makes other hybrids seem sluggish in comparison.
Lithium-Ion Battery
Bringing performance into the world of Hybrids requires a battery that can exceed expectation. That is why every Infiniti M® Hybrid features a Lithium-Ion battery that provides double the power density of older Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries found in some other hybrids. The high-output battery allows for instant switching between charge and discharge, delivering unexpected performance with surprising efficiency.
Electric-Hydraulic Steering
Unlike other hybrids with a detached steering feel, the Infiniti M® Hybrid provides a natural and familiar performance feel by utilizing a unique hybrid steering system. The combination of electric and hydraulic components provides for nimble and responsive handling while saving fuel.
Regenerative Braking
When stopping or coasting in the Infiniti M® Hybrid, an intelligent regenerative braking system recaptures energy that would normally be lost and charges the Lithium-Ion battery. Not only does the M Hybrid recapture more energy over a broader rev range than competitors, it features an electronic booster to assist with braking.

The Resource Center has all the info you'll need From content to user feedback, the resource center has the information you need for every level of the entrepreneurial process.
See who made this week's list
At a Life Science Ventures Summit hosted by the Kauffman Foundation, Huffington Post writer Jennifer Hill led a discussion focused on the players in entrepreneurship and asked the panel about approaching investors (0:38:28 – 0:44:00). The panel included Nick Franano, Avi Roop and Geoff Clapp.
Long understood to be the engine of the U.S. economy, the world is embracing entrepreneurship as one of the primary means of building a long-term recovery. Ironically, for this spreading global fervor to make a sustainable impact, the world of entrepreneurship must shrink.
Something extraordinary happened in Kansas City last Thursday. For the second year in a row, some of Kansas City's largest organizations participated in a reverse pitch. KCNext, the host and organizer, brought in a capacity crowd of over 200 entrepreneurs and other Global Entrepreneurship Week event participants. There were 65 events in Kansas City spread across a week and a half. But this event was different. This one was special.
See who made this week's 6 to follow in entrepreneurship.
The latest Kauffman Sketchbook illustrates how the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program develops the critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills that help any individual think like an entrepreneur.
Even with the most intuitive educational material, sometimes the most important thing a students needs is the ability to ask questions. For entrepreneurs, who are often lifelong learners, this is essential to the application of the material to their business. While online learning can facilitate opportunities to learn lessons anytime, anywhere that might not otherwise be available, the opportunity to engage directly with experts creates important connections and discussions.
Last night I had the privilege of watching the first ever Get in the Ring Competition in the United States. Though this competition is in its sixth year, this was the first year that the United States had participated. The process began in August with groups of judges sorting through about 300 applications from startups all across the country. After several rounds of judging, the final eight startups were invited to Kansas City to participate in the U.S. version of Get in the Ring, the American Startup Clash.

Glazed Grapefruit Cake
A little over a week ago, I shared the very first grapefruit recipe on this site. To quickly recap, prior to trying those cookies I was firmly in the hater camp when it came to grapefruit. And though I loved the cookies, I didn't really think I'd be developing a serious addiction to grapefruit anytime soon. I even chuckled when Shawnda commented that the cookies were the "grapefruit gateway" and that I'd soon be hooked. No way, not me.
Or so I thought. How wrong I was.
I always grab a few lemons or limes when I'm grocery shopping - you know, just in case I want to bake something. But over the past 2 weeks, I've walked right past them, stopping instead to load my cart with grapefruit. I've scoured my cookbooks and the internet for every grapefruit recipe I could find, and have been working my way through them one by one. Let's just call it making up for lost time.
I baked this grapefruit cake without any real expectations, but I wound up loving it so much I kept it all for myself. I was completely selfish, breaking my own rule of sending anything I bake to the office with Shane, my mom or Shane's dad. It's not a fancy layer cake, but this humble loaf packs a 1-2 punch - perfect texture and just enough grapefruit flavor to let you know it's there. I've justified it for breakfast a few times, but it's also great as an afternoon snack or late night treat.
I'm sharing this recipe as part of my friend Di's blog event celebrating all things citrus. You can check out the other recipes or link up one of your own here!
Glazed Grapefruit Cake
from Ad Hoc at Home by Thomas Keller
{Note: I skipped the syrup, and thought the result was great (and not at all dry) without it, but I imagine it probably ups the grapefruit flavor. I've included it in the recipe below - you can't go wrong either way.}
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grapefruit zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
3/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup grapefruit juice
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grapefruit juice
Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, rub the sugar and zest together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and fragrant. Add the eggs to the bowl with the sugar mixture and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and the whisk leaves a trail. With the mixer running, add the milk, then the oil and finally the vanilla. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients, beating just until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spray a small paring knife with nonstick cooking spray, then run the knife lengthwise down the center of the batter, about 1/2-inch deep. (This helps the cake develop an even crack down the center as it bakes.) Bake for 30 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
While the cake is baking, make the syrup: Combine the grapefruit juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then continue to simmer for 1 minute.
When you remove the cake from the oven, transfer to a wire rack (still in the loaf pan). Immediately use a skewer to poke deep holes into the cake (about 3/4-inch apart). Brush the cake with the syrup, pausing as necessary to allow it to soak in. Keep brushing the cake until you've used all of the syrup.
Let the cake cool for 10 minutes after you've brushed it with the syrup, then turn it out onto the cooling rack. Allow to cool to room temperature.
To make the glaze: In a medium bowl, stir the confectioners' sugar and grapefruit juice together until the glaze is smooth - it should be thick but with a pourable consistency. Drizzle over the cake allowing the glaze to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before serving. Well wrapped, the cake will keep at room temperature for 2 days.

guh, I love everything about grapefruit but I hate everything about the fact I can't ever eat any more of it. I was put on this medication at age 18 and since then I haven't been able to eat grapefruit because it interacts with the medicine. Do you know how heartbreaking that is?! I was obsessed with grapefruit! Anyway, this cake looks and sounds sooo amazing, i just wish i could make this!!

This looks absolutely fantastic, especially with the glaze on top. I have been seeing so many grapefruit recipes that I feel I should try at least some.
- March 13, 2012 at 1:08 PM
- Wendy (pinkstripes) said...
So you pretty much just use one grapefruit for this recipe (not counting the syrup)? I was thinking about baking something with grapefruits because my mom brought a bag of them over. But I've been eating them. I think I have one left and I'll make it this weekend for my future mother-in-law. She loves grapefruit.
- March 13, 2012 at 4:05 PM
- Tracey said...
@Wendy - Yep, one grapefruit will do it if you skip the syrup. Hope she likes it!
For the record (and for anyone else wondering), I did set out to make the syrup (before changing my mind) and needed 2 grapefruit to get enough juice for that. - March 13, 2012 at 4:21 PM
- Union Street Eats said...
I, too, used to be a grapefruit hater. But then all of a sudden one day I started craving them. In fact, when I get really thirsty, I crave grapefruit juice above all else - so weird! Needless to say, I'll be making this this weekend fo sho! Thanks!
- March 13, 2012 at 4:38 PM

I've been meaning to try this recipe but was worried about the anti grapefruit people in the house. Now I really want to make it as yours looks delicious.
- March 13, 2012 at 4:49 PM
- Tessa said...
I like grapefruit plain, but have never cooked with it, although I think you have convinced me to try. I will have to save these recipes as we have a young grapefruit tree in the backyard :)
- March 14, 2012 at 1:28 AM
- Di said...
Mmm, that looks delicious! I don't make stuff with grapefruit often enough--I'll definitely have to try this. I started out to make an orange-vanilla cake before settling on the citrus bars. It had a syrup, too, which I skipped due to laziness. I won't skip it next time--my cake was okay, but I think it really needed that extra punch of flavor.
Thanks for participating! - March 14, 2012 at 8:11 AM

It feels like such a spring-y recipe! :)

I love lemon cake, so I think I could easily devour this, especially with that beautiful drizzle.
- March 14, 2012 at 4:05 PM
- Nancy/n.o.e said...
I adore grapefruit! When I baked this cake, I made the syrup and it ended up pretty soggy as I recall. I'm glad to see how fabulous the cake is without the syrup; I'd probably go that route next time.
- March 15, 2012 at 12:29 AM
- Jessica said...
I've had this recipe flagged since I received Ad Hoc and I still haven't made it! Your cake looks absolutely perfect: simple and elegant. I love grapefruit; I need to make this before citrus season ends!
- March 15, 2012 at 6:21 AM
- bakewithjill.com said...
This really does sound good. I wonder if lemon recipes could be converted to grapefruit, since they both need some sugar to sweeten them up.
- March 15, 2012 at 9:12 AM
- Katie said...
These humble cakes are some of my all time favorites. I love the idea of baking with grapefruit. I've never tried it before. I'm saving this to try later.

I just love the way it looks, so fresh and perfect for spring, beautiful pictures!
- March 16, 2012 at 8:07 PM
Just made this and now I'm waiting for it to cool and it looks delicious! Thanks so much for a such a lovely recipe to start out the spring :)
- March 25, 2012 at 2:50 PM
- mellang said...
This cake was great! I made it yesterday. Not as grapefruit-y as I expected but the flavor was just enough to make it a little different from your traditional pound cake.
I just wanted to let you know that I posted this on my brand new blog, with pictures too, so please feel free to check it out!
Thanks for the great recipes! - March 31, 2012 at 9:20 PM
- KG3 said...
Just finished turning this lovely recipe into an Easter cupcake delight. Went with the syrup, 'cause I wanted the grapefruit to be so strong folks might think they needed a serrated spoon to eat it. Loved 'em. Even my daughter who hates all things fruit loved 'em. Thank you, thank you.

Episode 26: Panama City, Panama
That's it! 4,500 miles, 50 days, and a little over $1,500 later Peter arrives to the capital of Panama and his final destination. It's a bittersweet moment for him as he finalizes his trip, reflects on the good times, and tours the Panama Canal after getting a pretty serious Panamanian mustache.
Episode 25: Bocas Del Toro, Panama
Before they pull into Panama City, they visit the amazing archipelago of Bocas Del Toro. This place is livable. There's just about everything for everyone. Peter opts for the budget route as always and checks into a hostel prior to visiting Isla Bastimientos. See for yourself!
Episode 24: San Jose, Costa Rica
After being told that the capital is horrible, Peter decides to check it out for himself. To his surprise, it's kinda cool. It rained most of the time, but that doesn't stop people from hiding into the many bars that the locals frequent.
Episode 23: Pacific Coast, Costa Rica
Chances are, if you've visited Costa Rica you've been to the west coast. For a couple nights, Peter recharges in the tourist zone of Playa Tamarindo. After overspending and losing his balance, it's time to bus it Playa Samara, a toned down quaint version of Tamarindo.
Episode 22: Granada, Nicaragua
Before leaving Nicaragua, Peter visits the historical town of Granada. To his surprise, it's not all historic buildings and statues. There's a breath of fresh air when a group of school kids put on a show
Episode 21: Cockfight in Nicaragua
Simply put, a few miles outside of Leon a cockfight is going on for the locals amusement.
Episode 20: Leon, Nicaragua
It's time for some baseball Central America style. Pulling into this colonial gem, Peter takes in the city, eats some great food and spends the day watching a double header of baseball. See the difference and similarities at a baseball game where Leon hosts their colonial rivals of Granada.
Episode 19: Honduras
Instead of venturing to the beaches in the north, Peter embarks on a city tour of this country. Visiting both San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa in search of tank tops and chicken wings.
Episode 18: Travel Day
In this episode, Peter has to make his way into Honduras. A couple hours down the Rio Dulce, the crew spends the night in the town of Livingston to prepare for their border crossing the next morning. All day and multiple forms of transportation are required to trek from Guatemala to Honduras.
Episode 17: Rio Dulce, Guatemala
Translated, this city means "Sweet River." Located on the Rio Dulce is paradise. Nothing like you've ever seen before, Peter stays at an amazing hostel on the water. Spend your time relaxing, canoeing the river, or catching a water taxi tour.
Episode 16: Tikal, Guatemala
Step back into time at the ancient ruins of the Mayan civilization of Tikal. Peter spends the night in El Remate, then makes his way to the famous temples where he discovers himself in a past life.
Episode 15: San Ignacio, Belize
Away from the islands is an adventure seekers dream, the jungles of Belize. San Ignacio is the hub for travelers looking for caves, hikes, and nature. Peter spends time in the main city, and creates his own tour for roughly $2. On a budget, he has to find different ways of entertainment instead of shelling over a heap of cash. Meet Ras David, a local manufacturing banana wine in the room down the hall at the local motel.
Episode 14: Caye Caulker, Belize
Caye Caulker is the budget travelers dream when traveling in Belize. Normally pretty expensive, you can cut on all sorts of costs by staying here. The lodging is basic, but what else do you need when taking in the reggae spirit on this small island. Sit back relax, and enjoy the good vibes in the special episode formatted to a music video.
Episode 13: San Pedro, Belize Pt.2
Part 2 of our time in San Pedro. Peter spends the day meeting the locals of this island paradise. Walk around, be open to conversation, and you'll meet friends for life.
Episode 12: San Pedro, Belize Pt.1
Just southeast of Mexico lies this tiny country full of the Caribbean spirit. First stop is the mainstay on the Cayes, San Pedro. The most populated of the islands, Ambergris Caye is full of activities. Part 1 of 2 of an action packed weekend consisting of karaoke, celebration, meeting locals, and relaxation.

Love it
I wish this dress came in more colors. It is absolutely comfortable and perfect for the summer weather! The material is very stretchy. I purchased a medium, but found I could fit in a X-small and Small.

Love it
I was a little nervous before purchasing this dress, but it ended up fitting great. True to size on what I normally buy at the Limited, but it is flowy, so you could even probably go a size down.
June 21, 2013
Love, Love, Love
Bought this dress for my bachelorette party in July- Wanted something sexy but not over-the-top. This dress is amazing-the leather gives it a little pop and the layering top and tight skirt makes you instantly lose 10 pounds. I do wish the material was different (it's a blue jersey material) I'm afraid it will fade with washing quickly. Hoping that I won't need to wash it often as it is a special occasion dress. Overall- Great buy for a night out!
June 7, 2013
Classy and comfortable all in one
My favorite dress in my closet. It's classy and comfortable. I love the color and the look. I receive so many compliments on it.
June 5, 2013
This is an amazingly flattering dress. I have a bit of a thick waist and this dress totally camoflages this area with the lovely drapping. I only wished that it came in more colors! Why only one color??? Fits true to size.
May 28, 2013
Awesome. Love. Love. Love
Dress fits amazing and it's so soft and very sexy. I am a curvy girl and this dress compliments that, though I can see it complimenting any shape. And built in side boob coverage, I just want to say thanks for that! True to size as well.

have previously paid the application fee.
Additional Requirements:
Transfer applicants graduating from high school in 1989 or after, who have not yet
earned a bachelors degree, are subject to the high school unit requirements.
Eligible transfer applicants who have not completed all of the required high school
courses will be admitted, but they must remove deficiencies during the first 30 credit
hours of enrollment at MTSU. Courses required to remove deficiencies can be used to
satisfy general education requirements where appropriate.

Scientists recently discovered an amazingly cute new species of mammal.
Hidden in the forests of Ecuador and Colombia, this furry little critter -- related to raccoons it's been named the olinguito -- evaded science journals until researchers from the Smithsonian Institution identified it last week.
But while it's cute, it's not the cutest animal in the world.
In fact, after our highly unscientific office poll at CNN Travel, we don't even think it makes the top 20.
According to a New York Times report from 2006 on several studies of cuteness, "cute images stimulate the same pleasure centers of the brain aroused by sex, a good meal or psychoactive drugs like cocaine."
So why splurge on illegal drugs when you can simply click through our gallery?
We haven't included kittens playing in boxes, dopey dogs or anything else domesticated.
But we do let you know where you can see these creatures for yourself, from torrid jungles and arid deserts to mountains and oceans.
20. Sloth
Sluggish and serene, the sloth, found in the rainforests of South America, happens to have the same name as the Catholic vice.
But sloths aren't lazy. They're just really, really slow.
So slow that algae has been known to grow on their coats.
Nevertheless, it's that relaxed, unhurried attitude that makes them so endearing.
Ancon Expeditions in Panama organizes sloth-searching day trips through Soberania National Park.
19. Pygmy hippopotamus
Like its larger cousin, the pygmy hippopotamus has stumpy legs, a blunt snout and extraordinary swimming skills.
Unlike its larger cousin, the pygmy hippopotamus isn't one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
Without the threat of being mauled by a jaw full of teeth, it's easier to recognize that the hippopotamus -- when pygmy-sized -- can be pretty cute.
The pygmy hippopotamus is an endangered species, as listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN).
So while you may have seen pygmy hippos paddling away happily in zoos, they're a lot harder to spot in the wild.
The best bet to see a pygmy hippo may be somewhere in Sierra Leone (the country with reputedly with the largest pygmy hippo population in the wild), such as Tiwai Island Wildlife Sanctuary.
18. Slow loris
With an unnervingly wide-eyed stare, the slow loris hails from the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia and is notable for its plush but strong limbs.
Slow lorises can hang by their feet for hours at a time -- and often do.
Despite its huggable appearance, this animal is venomous.

In Search Of A Neverending Hope
If there's one thing that this group of Alabamans (or Alabamians, take your pick) have going for them, it's that listeners aren't going to find this specific blend of sludge/groove metal with minor gothic influences anywhere else, especially coming from bands fronted by a female vocalist.
Promise is the key word here. For someone who has never been in a band before, Christine Hate brings a commendable amount of attitude and professionalism. The eerie, elongated approach she takes when she emphasizes the power of the lyrics on "Can You See Me" works well and largely influences my decision in choosing this song as my favorite of the four offered on the EP. Mike Hate is no slouch either. The consistently groovy feel of the EP is no doubt a product of his effort on guitar, and the moments where he supplies backing vocals work to establish a sharp contrast with Christine Hate's soft tone. He sounds especially demonic on the EP's opener, "Revenge," coming close to John Henry from Darkest Hour.
In Search of a Neverending Hope can be quite frantic, transitioning from very mellow, melodic passages to the more corrosive sludge and crazy vocal antics of a group like Kylesa, and that will either be its selling point or weakness depending on your ability or inability to digest it all at once. Although I do get sick of the incessant need for genre-blending, Sciatica makes it work by constructing more subtle transitions and working to develop them rather than spontaneously insert them within each track. I am curious to see where they take their sound next on their first full-length.

Located in a peaceful valley on a high plateau of Central Mexico, the horseback riding at this ranch is unlimited. Surrounded by three waterfalls and at an elevation of 7.500 ft, the ranch offers spectacular views and weather year-round! There are no boundaries or fences throughout the magnificent countryside. Discover unsurpassed hospitality, scenery and equestrian riding in the heart of Mexico.
Ride and explore the plateau, the highlands and canyons on progressive day rides or chose to make it a more relaxing riding vacation with a riding menu a la carte. Ride past farmers plowing with oxen, longhorn cattle, goats and sheep free-grazing on rocky terrain. Cross flowing rivers with tumbling waterfalls, see egrets and ducks roosting on tranquil lakes as the horses splash along the water's edge.
See the many magnificent panoramic vistas, mountain ranges, historic haciendas, traditional villages and other spectacular scenery in the area. We provide a unique riding experience for everyone - from a gentle stroll along the lake, cantering up the side of a hill, galloping across open countryside, crossing rivers, swimming with the horses in the lake or traversing rocky paths to the top of a mountain. You'll ride in open, big sky country where you can choose to walk, canter or gallop for miles and miles or go with a separate group on more leisurely rides. There is no nose-to-tail riding here! If you want to experience a bit of the culture of the area with some of the historic places to visit, or your non-riding companion wants to join you, we have daily interesting vehicle sightseeing trips that you can join for a half or full day instead of riding.
This ride has great flexibility and is suitable for all riding levels, since all riding groups are separated by riding level. Speedy and long rides for the experienced riders and relaxed and shorter rides for the more novice riders. Even non riders will have a great time. In the evening everyone meets at the bar and over dinner to swap stories of the day's adventures.
The ranch offers tastefully-decorated Mexican style courtyard rooms and 'casitas,' each with luxurious private baths and first class amenities. Staff prepare gourmet meals, provide personalized service and plan activities and excursions customized to the interests of our guests. The paddocks are filled with beautiful horses - mostly Quarter Horse/Criollo blends – who are in excellent shape, easy to ride, sure-footed in every pace, and trained to accommodate riders at every skill level from absolute beginner to expert rider.
The weather conditions are very moderate. The sun shines, the mountain air is crystal clear, and the sky is bright blue almost every day. The average year-round daily temperature at midday is in the mid 70's (around 22º C). Depending on the season, the nights may get cool, but the day-time temperatures are perfect for riding year-round.
For non-riders and riders alike, there are numerous ways to relax at the ranch: unwind at the heated pool or in the hot tub; explore three waterfalls on the ranch; enjoy a margarita and refreshing breeze in the hammocks; play a game of pool; learn to make Mexican foods and drinks in the ranch kitchen or bar; or read one of our many equestrian magazines and other books in our living room, lounge, or patio. Or spoil yourself with a hot stone massage, a facial or manicure .... in the new Spa facilities.
We also plan a number of activities and optional excursions to historic sites and colorful markets to help you get to know the real Mexico.

We organize our rides to be varied and to provide an insight into the local area, giving you a flavor of the different terrain and landscapes of this beautiful part of Mexico. Unique approach to riding: From beginner to expert, all are catered for in small groups with a wrangler, but truly different, is our ability to also offer combined rides for partners, friends or family of different levels. Sample Riding Itinerary -- For non riders or if you like to split your time between riding and sightseeing - have a look at our Sightseeing Program (extra cost) Saturday – Day 01 We will arrange private pick up from Mexico City 'Benito Juarez' international airport. At the ranch you will get a full guided tour of the ranch and then you can settle in, unpack, check the place out, and rest after your trip. Depending on your time of arrival at the ranch, you can go for a ride, relax, swim in the infinity pool or enjoy a Margarita in the hot tub. Take some time, walk over to the corral and get to know the horses. Tonight you meet your pals for the week in our dining room. At dinner you have the chance to get to know each other. Sunday – Day 02 Lake District & Sunday Market in Daxthi or a la carte After a tasty breakfast overlooking the pool and surrounding countryside, you start your ride crossing the Rio Rosas and passing through the quaint little village of Los Colorados. Heading along country lanes you ride through the community of Heroes before you enter the lake district, which offers incredible views and great varied terrain for some delightful and diverse riding. At the small town of San Juan Daxthi, where the Sunday market takes place, enjoy a local Mexican lunch, before taking a stroll through the vibrant market. In the afternoon, your ride leads you across a large variety of open fields which invite for many canters. Here they practice mixed farming and there are many small villages with local shops, schools, health care centers etc. all interlinked by small roads and a myriad of trails. Local cowboys 'Charros' and farmers use these same trails to tend to their farm plots and small herds. Along one of these trails you reach the church and the village of Santa Cruz, where our car picks you up. Back at the ranch enjoy a Sunset Cocktail in the hot tub or at the bar and have a lovely dinner with your new found friends. Monday – Day 03 Xochitlan de las Flores - Atlants of Tula - Western & Charro Shops or a la carte Today's ride takes you along a stunning canyon to the village of 'Xochitlan'. Follow the canyon, pass by giant rocks and ride down into part of the canyon. Here you have time to marvel at your horses amazing surefootedness. 'Xochitlan de las Flores' got its name from the many flowers who grow here thanks to the temperate climate the place offers. Experience their leisurely way of living, visit their beautiful old church and have a little rest and some refreshments. The ride continues through green mountains tops and into the rugged terrain of Tula. Horse and rider both enjoy the glorious display of nature from the mountain ridge before leaving the horses at the watering hole under the trees for a rest and some food. On the bails in the back of our pick up we will drive you into Tula for a lunch stop in a little local restaurant where you can try some traditional Mexican food. You then head for a short visit to the archaeological site of the Atlantes of Tula. The great Atlantes are four huge (6 m high) and impressive warrior statues of black basalt on the top of the pyramid. The site is thought to be the most important Toltec settlement in Mexico. The Toltecs preceded the Aztecs. Before you head back to the horses you have a chance to shop for some boots or hats in the local Western and Charro shop. Back to the horses, ride along the old train rails into the quiet village of San Antonio. After a little break the horses take you along a creek through beautiful Mexican Countryside. Drive back to the ranch for another gourmet dinner. Tuesday – Day 04 Cerro de las Caballos - Colorful Market in Deguedo - Hacienda La Goleta or a la carte Start the ride today with a visit to the old stone bridge 'El Puente del Muite' (built in the late 17th century). The horses follow the beautiful green path along the river. Take some time to really enjoy, there is nothing better than experiencing this countryside on horseback as they did in the olden times. Today you head towards the 'Cerro de los Caballos' the horse's mountain. A couple canters take you through a whole different world of corn and cactus fields. The low intensity of the farming means that wild saguaro and nopal cacti, agaves, and thorn bushes predominate on the common grazing land. The green season (June – October) produces a colorful riot of wild flowers. The flat fields and quiet unpaved roads offer excellent gallops for confident riders, one of the great thrills on offer! A short climb takes you to the monument at the top of the mountain. The panoramic views from there are stunning. The monument stands for the battle that took place here, where the Mexicans defended this territory using cavalry and dragoons, and won! Lunch will be served in a 'Fonda' a little local Mexican restaurant in Deguedo. Enjoy the market which takes place here once a week, where you can find everything from chilies and sombreros to live sheep and great food. Back on the horses enjoy some nice canters this afternoon through this open sky country. Encounter ancient churches, lakes and rivers. At the end you take a beautiful stroll to the hacienda called 'La Goleta' which was built around 1690 by the Spaniards. The wrought iron in the windows was brought from Sweden, the tiles covering the front porch from Spain and you can still admire part of the original blue wall paintings. The old aqueduct continues to produce water for the many families living around the hacienda (estate). Back at the ranch enjoy a shower, a swim, pre-dinner drinks and a chance to catch up with your email. A nice candlelit dinner completes the day. Wednesday – Day 05 The Forests & The Cathedral of Canalejas or a la carte Your journey today embarks through the extinct volcanic geology of the region which has created a landscape crisscrossed with ancient lava flows. These have partially eroded over millennia and evolved into a rich landscape of micro-environments, creating habitats such as: low undulating hills, volcanic outcrops, narrow stream valleys, ancient barren lava fields and dry seasonal common pasture. The landscape changes later on and the trail leads you into the green forests of Canalejas. There the fallen needles of the pine trees have created some amazing paths. Cantering over them provokes the most incredible feeling. You do not hear a sound... it is like cantering on air. A most magical moment to remember. After lunch visit the Cathedral, which was built by the locals after they split open a rock in that spot and discovered inside an image of the 'Virgin of Guadalupe'. The black Virgin of Guadalupe is a national icon in Mexico and represents a fusion of pre-Columbian religious ideas with popular Catholicism. The image of her, inside that rock, can still be seen on the altar in the Cathedral. A relaxing ride through the village takes you to the horses' night stop in Canalejas. Today's drive to the ranch is a bit longer, take in the views and enjoy... . Thursday – Day 06 Orthodox Monastery - Picnic El Fresno - Black Virgin of Guadeloupe Shrine or a la carte 333 days of sunshine should guarantee you - 'Another day in Paradise! - as we say quite often here. After leaving Canalejas you canter through stunning pathways on your way to the remote Russian orthodox church. Admire the ceiling frescos which took 3 Russians 6 months to complete. This is also the place to have a coffee and chat with the monks, who tend to this monastery. Depending on the season the ride continues through lush shallow lake shores, hill climbs with over looking views, dry plains, rich seasonally irrigated maize, wheat, oat, bean, squash and sunflower fields. On the route you come by the remains of the hacienda of 'Tandeje'. Built in 1685 the walls still try to tell you of the past. A cobbled stone path guides you to the waterfalls of 'El Fresno' with its breath-taking old oak trees covered in Spanish moss. After lunch your incredible horses take the short but steep climb up to another little sanctuary of the Virgin of Guadalupe from where you have a beautiful view down into the canyon which hosted your picnic. Back at the ranch relax by the fountain in the patio with a refreshing 'Cerveza' (beer) or a tasty Margarita before joining at the nicely decorated table for dinner. Friday – Day 07 Los Organos - Peregrinos Petrificados or a la carte Back into the more rugged landscape, you might think you were returning to a western movie set. Trails cross old overgrown train rails hidden between cacti. You ride to 'Los Organos' a place forgotten in time. The trail leads you by San Miguel de las Piedras down into the canyon along rivers, where wild horses roam. You visit the 'Peregrinos Petrificados' a big rock formation in the middle of nowhere, where it is said that "the Pilgrims turned into stone because they did not want to finish their pilgrimage". The lunch time picnic is taken by the river. Goats and sheep graze nearby. Here the river is mixed with a volcanic warm spring so it is quite nice for a swim while the horses are resting. Homeward bound you climb up the canyon and pass through the village of Carranza with its church dating from 1697. On to the Presa of La Goleta, where the soft flat lake shore invites you for a final opportunity of a nice canter or even a gallop arriving at the ranch late afternoon. Back at the ranch get ready for an entertaining and unforgettable evening. The theme tonight is 'Noche Rosa Mexicana' Pink Mexican Night. If you feel you would like to coordinate with the table deco, wear something pink – the choice is yours! This night is filled with music and Mexican folklore, another unforgettable memory of Mexican life to take home… Saturday – Day 08 Departure If you have time - enjoy a short morning ride and then individual transfers to Mexico airport depending on your flight's departure. Itinerary subject to change!
On some days there are morning and afternoon rides and on others there are all-day rides with some fantastic surprises along the way. Riding groups are kept small - usually 4 to 6 riders with a maximum of 8 riders per horse guide. This ride has great flexibility and is suitable for all riding levels, since all riding groups are separated by riding level. This week has is suited for any riding level, from complete beginner to very experienced riders. Advanced riders will join the regular riding itinerary and have the opportunity to enjoy longer and faster paced riding. Less experienced riders can opt go out with a separate guide on shorter or more relaxed rides, to ensure that everyone gets the best experience. In the evening everyone meets at the bar and over dinner to swap stories of the day's adventures. Or, if you are a mixed level group, like a family or group of friends, we are able to send you out together as one group but with 2 wranglers, giving you the opportunity to ride together during your stay. We take a great deal of pride to ensure that whatever length your stay is, your experience leaves you with unforgettable memories. We organize our rides to be varied and to provide an insight into the local area, giving you a flavor of the different terrain and landscapes of this beautiful part of Mexico.
The Horses The horses are in excellent shape, easy to ride, sure-footed at every pace and trained to accommodate riders at every skill level from absolute beginner to expert rider. Currently there are 30 mixed breed, Criollo, Azteca, Quarter amongst others, suited to confidently handle the variety of terrain this wonderful countryside offers. The herd consists of geldings and stallions - but not to worry they are all very well behaved and get along just fine due to the way they can freely roam and form small 'famiuly units'. The corral is located beside the barn and you can spend some time with the horses and help with feeding or grooming whenever you feel like it. After the rides you can treat your horse to a sugar or watch the sunset from the paddock wall. If you love horses you will fall in love with ours. Each one has its own character and yet is trained to be responsive with any level of rider. Our Wranglers work hard to ensure that the horses are always at their best in terms of fitness and training.
Tack The tack is 'Charro' style (similar to Western) and provides an exceptionally comfortable ride.
Private Riding Lessons - US$ 30 (50 mins)
Staff There are around 15 staff members, some of whom speak English, German and French, as well as Spanish. Almost all of the team is Mexican, including the wranglers.

The expectations are high and our staff are well-trained to accommodate guests from all over the world.

333 days of sunshine a year
Thanks to its special geographical situation in a valley at an altitude of 7'500 feet above sea level and protected by high mountains, the weather conditions are very tempered and the sun shines almost every day. The average daily temperature all year round is of approx. 70ºF. Only depending on the season the nights get more or less cool. The ranch is open and operating year round. Guests often ask... "which is the best time of the year to visit?" The only way to answer that question is...
SPRING - March - May Changes take place. The local farmers start to prepare their fields for the corn crops. The plough makes it's way through the acres drawn by oxen or horses. Imagine passing by farmers working the fields in the way they have done for generations. Go back in time to a glorious past. SUMMER - June - August Known as the 'rainy season', which is (unfortunately for the farmers here) not really the case at our place. Due to the geographical situation (we are in a valley at an altitude of 7500 ft) the clouds can't gather as much as in other regions of Mexico. But we do get the occasional shower (downpour) of an hour or two in the evenings or at night (last summer we had a total of aprox 20 individual 'days' with 1-2 hrs of rain here). Just enough to allow all of the usually dormant plants to bloom, creating spectacular vistas of vibrant color, with cosmos flowers everywhere.. see pictures on the left. This is for me the most beautiful time of the season. The nights are cool and in the morning a bright sunny blue sky awaits you for another perfect ride. Imagine cantering through millions of cosmos flowers, like floating through a sea of blossoms, the horses almost hidden in the fields covered with pink. AUTUMN - September - November Until the dry season begins at the end of October there are still flowers everywhere. Now harvest arrives... The local farmers usually let the corn dry until the end of November and then take it in, using it primarily to feed their animals during winter. They grind part of the crop to make the meal for the famous tortilla. Imagine listening to the wind whispering through the dry, high standing golden corn fields, while you cross between them into the sunset. WINTER - December - February The driest season with practically no rain at all. This means that the fields are very dry, painted a golden color against a brilliant blue sky, spotted with green cactus and mesquite bushes the exception. Imagine late afternoon, as you ride through fields set afire by the setting sun. A spectacular image you will never forget.
All year round at midday we have temperatures of approx. 24º centigrade / 76 Fahrenheit. In the mornings and in the evenings it is good to have some long sleeved shirts or sweaters to take on the rides. It is always good to pack something of both so you can't get wrong. Don't forget your swimming trunks, if you like to use the hot tub or swim with the horses (depending on the weather).
For riding we recommend jeans and short boots. Training shoes are not really apt for riding as you may not be comfortable and get stuck in the stirrups. In any case you may buy short leather boots in the markets around here for about US$ 25.- to US$ 35.- depending on the size.
A pair of bicycle pants underneath your jeans can be helpful for beginners or guest which have not been riding for a long time (to help prevent rubs).
We do not provide riding helmets, if you want to use one you will have to bring it along. Most people here use only simple sombreros against the sun (you may also get them at the market) as it can be really hot beneath the black helmets… but this is your decision.
The sun on 7500 feet of altitude is very strong. We highly recommend a sun cream with high protection factor which you should use daily. The hotel is fumigated against mosquitoes and there are normally not many around.
Laundry: We do offer laundry services – ask for the actual rates.
Also provided in every room: a hairdryer (110 V), shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, towels, bathrobe and drinking water.
The electricity voltage here is 100V, the same as in the US.

Breakfast and lunch rides to scenic areas are regular events. Don't worry if you are a non-rider, we'll take you to the picnic spots! According to ranch tradition the meals are served family style, with plenty of second and third helpings and lots of good conversation.
