The different layers of the Gulf's sunrise are quite vibrant in the early summer hours. It only lasts 15 minutes, but rarely disappoints. The dolphin at the end was not bad either.

Entry Title: The Mystery of the Monarchs
Entry:
Wow!! Sheer magic!! Last week we had another of those experiences that will stand out as one of the highlights of our trip. We spent a day at El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary high in the hills of Michoacán state about 200 km west of Mexico City. Talk about bowled over - we were totally captivated and utterly fascinated by the amazing mystery of these colourful, seemingly fragile, little winged creatures. Of course, we've all heard the story of their incredible migration back and forth from the Great Lakes area of the US and Canada to the Mexican highlands, but to actually stand there and be surrounded by this fluttering mass of millions of brilliant orange, yellow, black and white butterflies as they gather strength for their long journey north is really something to behold. Although many hypotheses have been formulated and theories proposed by entomologists and environmental scientists, it seems that the why and the how of their great annual trek still remains a mystery. Another delightful and tantalizing puzzle of the natural world that will hopefully elude a rational explanation for some time yet! We camped overnight in the parking lot of the Sanctuary and early in the morning ran the gauntlet of the enterprising vendors with their tacky souvenir stands and grubby food stalls as we started the hike up into the pine and fir forests. It was a beautifully bright, sunny day and already there were a few of the distinctive monarchs fluttering around soaking up the warmth. Cameras at the ready, we were determined not to miss any shots in case we might already be too late, as the migration usually starts around the middle of March. Not to worry, we ended up with literally hundreds of photos, and for the first time in three years filled the one gigabyte memory card on the camera within a few hours! By mid-morning the flowering bushes and shrubs beside the path were a swarming mass of butterflies busily seeking mates and following the complicated rituals of the mating game. Maybe some background on the biology is in order (you're allowed to skip this paragraph if you're not interested in the technical details!). Apparently the increasing temperatures and day-length in February and early March trigger the sexual development of the monarchs (Danaus plexippus), and once mature they mate on the wing, with the male carrying the female around until they finally fall to the ground and struggle to disengage. This effort is too much for the males and within days they will all be dead, littering the ground, their task accomplished. The females are the ones who journey north, and will cover the incredible distance of several thousand km in a few weeks by taking advantage of the high altitude northerly airstream, gliding most of the way. In the southern US states around the Gulf of Mexico they will literally come back down to earth in late April in order to lay their eggs on milkweed plants and other members of the Asclepias genera. After about a month the larva and pupa cycle is complete and the next generation of adults then continues the migration, arriving in the Great Lakes area for the summer months. Two or three more generations are produced there with a life cycle of about a month each, and are totally dependent on milkweed for their sustenance. They are clearly able to tolerate the toxic qualities of the latex of the plant, and in fact the brightly striped larvae utilize it as a defence to deter potential predators. The final reproductive cycle results in adults - called the 'Methuselah Generation' - who are physiologically quite distinct and have a life cycle of about eight months. These are the adults - about a 100 million of them - who return to Mexico in the fall for the winter hibernation, with the females ...

Entry:
Please scroll down for English Salimos de casa el sábado 28 de Octubre después de haber calculado distancias y reajustado tiempos. Nos pasamos todo el día viernes cargando y descargando, poniendo y sacando, redistribuyendo. Claudio instaló más botones y cosas para el auto, atornilló unas cajas y cortó la escalera (la que usamos para subir a la carpa) para que entrara bien en el espacio que nos quedaba. Pareciera que el espíritu de la noche de brujas pasó por acá, porque de alguna forma u otra el auto se hizo más chico o las cosas crecieron o realmente llevamos más de lo que pensamos o más de lo que necesitamos. ¿Por qué tengo tanto miedo de olvidarme algo? ¿Qué es lo que realmente queremos cuando nos preocupamos tanto por lo que nos olvidamos? ¿Es que no queremos partir? ¿O es que sabemos que en casa estamos cómodos? Ya pasaron varias horas de viaje. Lo que nos olvidamos de cargar ya es historia, (siempre habrá un Wal-mart cerca... ( por ahora....) Oklahoma se veía muy activa y el paisaje colorido. El otoño es hermoso en cualquier lado. Los árboles están cambiando de colores y se veían hermosos verdes, amarillos y rojos. Estaba muy lindo el paisaje. Nosotros con rumbo al sur, todos los controles del auto parecen funcionar bien. Bueno, la camioneta anda súper, esa era una preocupación, por que no sabíamos como andaría con todas las cosas ya cargadas, y el consumo de gasolina nos está sorprendiendo (17,9 millas por galón o 8,4 Km. por litro). Paramos en Houston en la casa de nuestros amigos Claudia y Gabriel. Después de más de 3 años de no verlos, no nos alcanzó el tiempo para ponernos al día con las novedades. Trayecto Houston-Monterrey Octubre 29-2006 Partimos después de un buen descanso, con algún que otro percance, ya que el colchón de aire se desinflaba cada 3 o 4 horas. Parece que estamos en la misma ruta que toman las mariposas Monarcas en su migración anual hacia México; lástima que muchas de ellas terminaron siendo estrelladas por el parabrisas del auto decorándolo muy armoniosamente. Cruzamos la frontera USA-México en Laredo-Nuevo Laredo. Tuvimos percances menores pero nada del otro mundo. Decidimos tomar la autopista y pagar $185.00 pesos mexicanos (18 dólares por 120Km.) ya que se nos está haciendo tarde y nuestros amigos nos están esperando en Monterrey. Monterrey es una ciudad inmensa, y si digo inmensa es porque nos perdimos y cruzamos la ciudad y es realmente grande!!!!!!! Pero por suerte, preguntando se llega a Roma, y después de 2 horas, llegamos a casa de Carmen y Oscar. Tuvimos una velada agradable y luego salimos a recorrer un poco el centro de la ciudad, que es realmente bonito, estuvimos caminando por una peatonal, una plaza muy cerca de la casa de Gobierno, dónde nos encontramos con un conjunto de mariachi y un imitador de Juan Gabriel que nos hizo reír un rato. También pasamos por el barrio más antiguo de la ciudad, dónde la calles son más angostas y de piedras y la mayoría de las casa fueron convertidas en diferentes tipos de negocios pero sin modificar su estructura y manteniendo la arquitectura original. Día 3. Tramo Monterrey-San Luis Potosí. Salimos de la casa de nuestros amigos en dirección a San Luis Potosí. Yo estaba muy cansada y Claudio no tanto. Nuevamente en la autopista y hemos pagado primero 33 pesos y luego 52 pesos mexicanos. El día es largo y la autopista bastante monótona. Lo bueno es que de esta manera lo estamos haciendo más rápido. Decidimos no hacer paradas en el camino y quedarnos a dormir en San Luis Potosí. Elegimos un hotel bastante económico con lo necesario y nos fuimos en taxi hasta el centro de la ciudad. El centro histórico es realmente muy bonito, lleno de iglesias y mucha gente por todos lados. Vimos también, en el ayuntamiento municipal un altar dedicado al Día de los Muertos. Día 4. Martes 31 de Octubre del 2006. Decidimos ir nuevamente en taxi hasta el centro histórico de San Luis Potosí ya que nos gustó tanto. Además aprovechamos para resolver el inconveniente que tenemos hasta ahora de retirar ...
