howdi.
when i was a small boy , mom and i went from mexicalli to mexico city on the train( 1969). we were going along the gulf of california and the porterr grabbed us kids and exlaimed in excited spanish, fireflyes ,. they were flitting back and fourth in the brush flashing away . we were in the tail end of a hurricaine and the lighting was something else.
good memories for the kids.
