We were leaving the gym on our lunch hour and heading back to work when we spotted a beautiful monarch butterfly. My sister and I started looking and they were everywhere - just floating down the road. We began counting and counted 16 in about 20 to 30 seconds. They continued to come, but we quit counting. They were all heading South. We began talking about the fact that they must be on their way to Mexico for the winter. It was really cool!
