Declaration of love

I am in love with a mountain. And a lake. The mountain is called 'Seekofel' and the lake is 'Pragser Wildsee' in Italy.

 The atmosphere is so special. Very peaceful and magic. Especially when you walk around the lake in the early morning to be on time for hiking on the summit of Seekofel. Or when there is fog.

Another reason for the special atmosphere is the hotel 'Hotel Pragser Wildsee'. It has quite some history: The 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' wrote an article in which it is explained that VIP's who were persecuted by the Nazis were imprisoned in the hotel. One could think that they could have had worse luck but as a matter of fact they constantly had to be afraid to be shot all of a sudden.

The lake is to be reached by car at the end of a valley. Every highway is far away and there is also no village close-by. All I know is that I will spend one or two nights in this hotel once in my life.

Best Mexican Food in Munich

In Munich recently a new food trend swept over: Mexican food! But not the one where you have a heavy pan made from iron served at your table, baked over with cheese; but more the fresh-and-healthy Dean & David to-go alternative. And if you manage to eat an entire wrap without spilling any sauce on your clothes, the dessert will be for free (just kidding, unfortunately).

Of course I already tried three different restaurants. Although, I wouldn't really call them 'restaurants'. 'Food bars' is maybe more appropriate.

The first one was Mama Chili inside the Munich central station. I was hungry and ... disappointed. As a vegetarian, I always choose the meat-free option but I don't think this was the problem. It just wasn't spicy at all and tasted kind of boring. Fatty rice with beans in a wrap.

My bff (best friend forever) wanted to try another burrito bar after we enjoyed our manicure-pedicure appointment at La Mano in Müllerstrasse. Bff lives right next to Jordi's Burrito. It is a small and cosy place. You are asked to take as many drinks as you like out of the fridge during your stay and pay afterwards. The owner is a sweet and chatty guy. He sits with his guests when he doesn't have to prepare a dish. He served our burritos in two courses since we ordered both the same (vegetarian) version. It tasted already much nicer. Next time I will ask him to reduce the amount of rice.

La Taqueria Milagros

The last bar which I tried is La Taqueria Milagros.
It is directly next to Isartor in Zweibrueckenstrasse. Around lunchtime, it is quite crowded and they also serve margaritas (I already have the idea of a correlation...). It is extremly lovely decorated (see picture) with the typical colourful welcome-in-the-hot-desert-sit-down-and-have-a-drink Mexican shades.

The food needs some time to be served, you get a beeper. But it was super-fresh (I took tacos, no burritos since I don't like the rice) and it looked very home-made. The vegetarian option included mushrooms and fresh limes. I think I will go there again. I jealously eyeballed my neighbours salad with a giant avocado topping.
