Brunch at Mansion de los Sueños

A group of Patzcuaro women who can claim diverse countries of origin and who use English as their lingua franca gathered today for brunch in Priscilla Madsen's elegant dining room at Mansion de los Sueños. Future brunches are scheduled for the third Thursday of each month.

These Flores de Pátzcuaro are searching for a good name for the group.

The monthly brunch is a good venue to meet interesting people, for enjoyable conversation and to glean practical tips. Mark your calendar.

Cross cultures.
