I hope that link works. The underlying web site is parked at Comcast: http://home.comcast.net/~gringodog. The pet-friendly Mexico pages is at http://home.comcast.net/...dog/pet-friendly.htm. I recently parted with $20 to buy the domain names "www.gringodogs.com" and "www.gringodog.net," and have them both pointed at the Comcast address. (A commercial speculator had already purchased "www.gringodog.com," darn). You can also find the site by Googling "Gringodog." You'll have to work through the first links that come up to get where you want to go if you Google "Gringodog." Don't click on the result with the URL relating to Travelpods. That's me, also - an incomplete attempt to update my travelogues without fussing with Microsoft Front Page. I only know how to create a web page using Microsoft Front Page, so the site works best if you use Internet Explorer, even though I'm a Firefox fan myself. Here is what I have written for San Cristobal de las Casas: San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas Casa Na'ima This was a wonderful, very attractive, place to stay. Owner Bruno Morales, who is half Mexican, half French Canadian, is great! There's a little area for exercising the dogs on the patio. Bruno and his girlfriend live in a little casita, so guests get the run of the house, including the kitchen. Great views. $65 for a double, including breakfast. We stayed four weeks and paid $50 a night, without breakfast. Includes free high speed wired or wireless Internet. Address: Remesal #2, Esquina Gradas Francisco I Madero, Barrio Guadalupe, San Cristobal de Las Casas , Chiapas, Mexico. Tel: 967-678-8630. E-mail: brunomorales@casanaima.com Web page: http://www.casanaima.com San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas Hotel Molindo de la Alborado This hotel lodge responded to our inquiry that our pets were welcome. The price in 2006 was about $42 for a double, with plenty of room for the dogs; the lodging’s location is in the mountains about 10 minutes from San Cristóbal. Periférico Sur Poniente No.74 Barrio de María Auxiliadora, C.P. 29290. Tel. (01967) 678 0935, Fax (01967) 678 3145, e-mail hotel@molinodelaalborada.com.mx Web page: http://www.molinodelaalborada.com.mx/ I also mention Casa Colibri in my listings, although a reader wrote to tell me that they weren't very happy with the area around the house-apparently it overlooks a pig slaughterhouse or something like that. I haven't updated this web site on Puebla yet, but have one or two new listings. Send me an e-mail if you need those, since Puebla is often a stopping point en route to San Cristobal de las Casas. On our way to San Cristobal, we stayed south of Veracruz--between Veracruz and Villahermosa--in a crummy little sex motel, but it took the dogs. It was on the lLibre, but I can't recall the name of it. It may have flooded out anyway. If you want a legitimate pet-friendly motel in either of those cities, I suggest you look at www.Orbitz.com or http://hotel-guies.us/ Both have boxes you can check under "amenities" for allowing pets. I'm in the process of updating my page with some listings from these sites. It takes me quite awhile to get it done, however. The latter site volunteers to double check for you on the pet-friendliness if you send them an e-mail. Presumably, they would like to do the booking for you.
