It seems that today was the first day that butterflies "officially appeared". Mr. Germán Medina was at "El Cerrito" --the small forest where butterflies make a halt before climbing up to the Sanctuaries--and could see small groups of 5, 10-20 butterflies flying around. and in town, we could see exactly the same quantities and distribution overflying us. So the big arrival will take place over the days to come now.

The raining seasons seems to be over now. Since yesterday, and after very cloudy, windy and rainy weeks, we have deep blue sky and sunny days, with very icy cold mornings and evenings, though.

Greetings,


María Estela.
