Hello guys, I've done a couple of trips since I've been back at uni, first to Tequila, the little town that produces the great drink, and the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary.

Tequila is this cute little old town with nothing much in it but Agave (cactus) fields and tequila processing plants. We whiled away an afternoon having lunch, wandering about the town and taking a tour through Jose Cuervo where you can see the process and taste the product. 😊

The Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary... well... there's not much for me to say but WOW. Up the top of a mountain and surrounded by indigenous villages, it takes an hour walk to get up the top of this mountain and there are literally MILLIONS of these butterflies flying about, hanging off trees, mating and getting ready to fly back north. I think the photos say more about this place, but, to my eyes i don't think these photos do it justice!

my love to all. xx
