Here are the butterflies. There are so many that they weigh down the boughs of the trees!

The next day was Sunday, and we ended up in Zitacuaro. All the laundromats were closed, so we found the public lavadero, a place for poor people to wash clothes. Luis and Juan helped us find it... and then took us home to their in-laws' house to camp there, which was an incredible treat.

After a good solid day's ride from Zitacuaro we came down to beautiful Valle de Bravo and its incredible lake. This is by far the most beautiful lake we saw in Mexico.
Valle de Bravo is mostly a weekend getaway for richer folks from Mexico City, but we were there during the week and found it a fascinating city in its own right, not just a vacation getaway.

Leaving Valle de Bravo, we climbed over to Temascaltepec, then began a search for the right road to cross over to Chiltepec. We got a lot of blank stares when we asked about it, but began a big climb anyway.
