There didn't appear to be other foreigners making the bus trip, a two-hour ride out the Toluca highway and along winding country roads. [...] it seemed the tourist pool was made up of expats, old Mexico hands and adventurers who consider witnessing the miracle of the monarch butterfly migration essential travel.
