October 27, 2017

Last week my brother-in-law Rogelio called me excitedly to say that he’d seen two monarchs from the window of his van as he was driving down the wildflower-filled road that connects the city of Zitácuaro to our village Macheros.

Then on October 27th my sister-in-law Daleth saw another two dancing around our yard.

A Spectacular Massive Arrival Today!

A very special hello, friends!

Over the weekend, things were calm. Families in town were organizing to welcome our great fest of Day of the Dead. I kept an eye up to the blue sky every other minute, just in case the first Monarchs would appear as signal of the souls of beloved dead ones. I drove around Angangueo during the day, not getting any sign from anyone about the Monarch’s arrival.
