Dear
Journey North Friends,
It seems the Monarchs are a little late this year. I went to el Cerrito
this morning and, after looking around for a few minutes, the first Monarch
came out from the trees! A couple of minutes later, one more, then a little
more inside two... four... I then decided to stay longer and wait in case
more would come out but, after half an hour, they only amounted to a total
of 6 Monarchs. The small forest still looks empty, as you can see in this
photo.
For a couple of days we have had deep blue skies, but not as cold as it
should be in the mornings and evenings. (It used to be ice-cold by this
time every year.)
Many more Monarchs should be on the way now. I should tell you as soon
as I have some more news.
A warm hello from Angangueo,
