Well it all started with a quest. Not a totally unusual quest but certainly a fantastical one. It was the quest to find the butterflies. We were in search of the sea of monarch butterflies, rumoured to be living in the trees about an hour and a half up into the hills from Ocampo. We were coming from Ocampo and going to lake Patzcuaro. We traveled far and wide right from downtown mexico city, mostly by foot and by bus, and ended up high in the mountains of El Rosario, in a tiny bed next to a tiny old woman in a tiny old house on a tiny old farm. I`m not sure how or why we ended up there but that`s just what happened. And the next thing we new it was morning time and we were in a forest of...butterflies!! Not hundreds, not thousands, but 150 million butterflies! They were everywhere! In the trees, on the ground, all through the air, in our hairs... It was out of our wildest dreams!
