Finally, a wireless connection at our campground! We drove through many towns before experiencing a blowout in our new tire, but everything went well, having our personal mechanic onboard! Several men offered to help, which gave us opportunities to discuss God's Word. We were happy to find a Goodyear Tire Co. close by, in Aguascalientes, and were able to buy a new tire. From there we went to Guadajuato, where it is known for their underground tunnels throughout the entire city. We went on our little scooter through the tunnels, & it was quite an experience - sort of like the subways of NYC- only cars zooming out in front & behind us from all angles! We are trying to post pictures to show you, but not being successful at this time. We had wonderful talks with the owners of the campground, and one of the workers asked us for a second NT to give to someone!

When we left here, we journeyed to a little town near Ocampo, in the state of Michoacan, where the monarch butterflies hibernate for the winter by the thousands! Carole went part way up the mountain, & Peter made it all the way! If we ever get the pictures to post, you will see little black "specks" in the sky above the trees. They mainly were in the treetops! But Carole had a great time below, talking to several people, and making connections to e-mail them! It was a real highlight of our trip so far, and a chance to spend time with the nationals.
