Meet Up Event: Butterflies Are (Almost) Free!

What do Blue Morphos and Mexican Shoemakers and Postmen have in common? They are all butterflies, and there is a good chance of seeing them this Friday as we go to the local butterfly farm! Since the farm shares a common border with Nectandra, the ecological research center, we will probably see some of the birds that make their home there as they spill over into the Butterfly Farm...apparently this is like Birds Without Borders!

Date: Friday, October 22, 2010
Meet Up: 9:30 a.m. at Cafe Delicious, San Ramon for carpooling/caravaning. Los Angeles Sur Group, meet at Mi Rancho Restaurant by 9:45 a.m. and we will pick you up along the way.
Place: Butterfly Farm near Los Angeles Sur, admission about 1,500 c, for tour and walk
Lunch: Mi Ranco, order from the menu, comida typica, less than 5,000 c
Expect: Drive 20 minutes to Butterfly Farm, spend about 90 minutes for tour and walk, drive ten minutes to Mi Rancho, return to San Ramon about 1 p.m.
More Info: This is a Meet Up Event so no RSVP is necessary. Lisa Gellock is coordinating this event... email lisaincostarica@aol.com or call 8387-6925 ... thanks, Lisa!!!
