Golf in an Ex-hacienda? Visiting the Arboledas Rotary Club

How gracious was the Club Rotario Arboledas on January 13th that they allowed me to bring my husband, Jeremy, and my sister-in-law, Allison (visiting from NYC)....so nice.  Rotary meetings in Mexico City are no joke - they go all out with buttoned up waiters serving several courses...this morning, we dined on delicious fresh pastries, coffee, freshly squeezed OJ (the norm in Mexico), fresh papaya and melon, and croquettes of ham and cheese with frijoles (beans).  The Arboledas Club meets at the Club de Golf La Hacienda en Atizapan in the State of Mexico (just north of Mexico City, but still part of District 4170). (see photo below of the gorgeous grounds). We were warmly welcomed by Adriana and Claudia Salum and 10 other Rotarians, mostly women (not the norm). They were especially interested to learn about the process of being nominated for an Ambassadorial Scholarship and the role once chosen.
