I heard about this place from a friend of mine who runs a B&B in Ingleside, Tx. She was amazed at the beauty of the Xilitla gardens once owned by Edward James, an eccentric man who was rumored to be an illegitimate son of British King Edward. Edward James was a patron of surrealism, and his legacy lives on in the heart of Mexico. I was so fascinated by Jane’s stories of this place that I want to see it myself someday.

I have wanted to go to San Luis Potosi for a long time. Higher on my list were San Miguel de Allende and Oaxaca. Now that I’ve made it to those 2 places, I imagine SLP will be next. I am so intrigued to read about Xilitla. I appreciate your entry and the link to the article you provide. (And the cheers I’ve given your Paris trip are hearty ones! You might be interested in the Gertrude Stein Pilgrimmage I designed for myself. I chronicled it, beginning at Gertrude Stein’s Residence, 1904 – 1937 . Have fun!)
