Around 2 pm we headed up to Angangueo. We began seeing monarchs in Ocampo. We saw them further up the road toward Angangeo than we did yesterday but still very few in Angangueo. We continued on up to La Chincua. There were scattered dark clouds around the mountain tops again and we saw no monarchs above Angangueo.
Over dinner at Los Arcos (the Rainbows) Restaurant on the square in Angangueo we decided to go visit the pyramids at San Felipe los Alzati. On our way up the road to the pyramids we spotted many monarchs. As we passed one tree hundreds shot out into the air. We stopped and watched them form several clusters. A little further up the road there was another tree with many clusters. Carol Cullar estimates that the first tree had between 800 and a thousand clustered monarchs. Her great new camera captured much clearer pictures than mine did and she will post them when she gets back to Texas.
