oops

So like I mentioned, it's hard to lead a trip and keep up the energy to write a blog about it at the same time. I will 100% admit it felt so good those last 2 days to just collapse and fall into bed without writing a single thing down!! So here are a few highlights...

-The last preserve we visited was cool and cloudy. very diff vibe than the active sunny monarch filled day prior
-delicious lunch & horseback ride to the top
-sleepy monarch clusters
-witnessed orioles predating on the butterflies!
-took a pause to send away my stress with the monarchs, but couldn't think of anything!
-Mel lost her phone!!
-drove to Valle de Bravo...got lost getting to the hotel
-GORGEOUS accommodations - DEF coming back some time for personal vacation
-hot tub, hammock, pizza, and wine
-hot yoga
-boat tour of the reservoir
-fish lunch
-long drive back to CDMX, tons of traffic, but nothing like before
-room to myself
-temple of sun & moon, very hot!! need shorts!
-dinner out with Mel, Liana, and Alex
-ate pueblo beetles on squash blossoms! yum!
-rolled out early next day to return cars and to the airport...which I actually barely remember...
-to go burgers at texas airport for the plane ride back to MD

I will also note, that even though I am posting these almost 1 year after my trip, I am VERY excited to go back to Mexico. PX3 plans on holding annual trips to the bioperserves and if you are interested in attending (now that we know where we're going and won't get lost so often haha), then please let me know, or go to px3-pollinators.com
