The caves were AMAZING! I don't know how I will ever describe the experience to anyone else. There were stalagmites that look like flower petals, or smooth hills, chocolate sauce on a scoop of ice cream, coral, soldier's helmets, and upsidedown boots. There were stalagtites that hung like wet towels or grapes. Some of the formations looked like dragons, buddahs, old men and women, birds, helmets--and the cave was HUGE! The school {I work in} could fit in some of the caverns. I was in awe. Tomorrow we will see the waterfalls.
It's still raining. I've decided that the rain complements this countryside much more than sun. In the rain the green leaves seem illuminated.
I just observed a chickadee eating a very large moth, maybe 5 to six inches for tip to tip. I thought that the moth was an abandoned child's toy until the chickadee began to pick at it. The moth then began to fight back. The moth was larger than the chickadee.
