Exploring Sinaloa, Michoacan, and Guerrero (Mazatlan to Acapulco)

Great reading
Loved the long read with some wonderful pictures. Pity about the spelling in places Ken, but perhaps you were eating chips in a truck whilst stopped in a parking lot at the time. !!!!!! Only joking.

Drunken butterflies and Mole
I’m enviously enjoying your posts guys! I wanted to share a bit of butterfly knowledge with you regarding Ken’s dad’s comment about them “flopping around”. They may or may not have mentioned it but it’s a defense mechanism. They specifically suck down the fermented juices of fruits that have fallen off the trees, which makes them a little “drunk”. This “floppy” flying prevents their predators from catching them. (Similar to how you’re told to run zigzag if you’re ever chased by an alligator.) : ) And I’m so jealous you are heading to Oaxaca. Such a beautiful place. In the capital is very nice botanical garden. And Oaxaca is known as the land of 7 moles. Delicious mole can be found in many of the markets and restaurants. And their have a very nice queso as well. Enjoy! Can’t wait to see and hear all about your next adventures! -Michelle
