I had an amazing trip to the state of Michoacan this past weekend. We had a long weekend with Monday and Tuesday off due to the Day of the Dead (All Saints and All Souls Days Nov 1 and 2).
Highlights includes:
---Visiting El Rosario Butterfly Sancturary in the forest (the Monarchs come every year from Canada and stay for the winter: Nov-March)
---Staying at a beautiful ranch with a fireplace in our room and daily breakfast on the terrace
---Climbing and walking up the mountain in the early morning
---Doing yoga on the hill top at sunrise
---Visiting the Pantheon (cemetary) with graves adorned with Marigolds, candles, and food for Dia de los Muertos, on the island of Janitzo, across the lake from Patzcuaro
---Visiting the Dos Estrellas mine that ran until the 60s. Mexican miners drilled for gold and silver and were expected to only live 10-15 years after beginning work in the Mine
---Staying at a campsite in a German triangle chaped wooden cabin overlooking the lake
