After several days of rain, today as the sun was coming
out, observers felt a front of cool air blowing through at more or less 5 pm. It was at this point that they began to observe low flying groups of 20 to 30 butterflies. In little time the groups increased in size and density and began flying much higher.

Prof. Javier, of Acuna, Coahuila, is a disc jockey at a local radio station and when he
announced the news over the air, people practically spilled out into the streets to
welcome "our beloved travelers." "Until 10 pm, the hour at which I am writing this report, I have received calls from both locations (Acuña and Piedras Negras) communicating the news of the
arrival of the monarch to these two cities on our national border.
