Manuel vs The Depths of The Earth. Round 2

Have you ever felt lucky? Maybe privileged? Today I had one of those moments when you think "Manuel, you are really annoying, aren't you?".

After an exciting day at Hiden River Cave and a heavy emotional load last night, we woke up to to discover that some of the bags that were on top of the car were wet. Discouraging? A lot...

After taking a deep breath, check the bags and reorganize the whole thing, we started the day an hour late. But we kept the good attitude and continued with the plan to visit the biggest caverns in the world, the Mammoth Caves.

This tour was different from the one we took the day before in the other caverns. This one was completely guided and everything was designed just to walk and look.

400 miles of the cavern have been mapped, all of that in only 7 miles around the area. 5 different layers make this cavern a complex maze that hasn't been solved yet!

The caverns are full of history, that much that it even has pre-history! (Got it? No? Try harder!)

They haven't found any dinosaurs fossils because the caverns formed before they died.

At the end, this cavern was an experience of historic learning, really interesting and something that is worth to visit.

When we exited the cavern, I saw how a little waterfall turned the floor were it falls into a colorless scene, something from a horror movie. But you can still find beauty in a decrepit place.

Why did I feel lucky? Why did I admit I am annoying? Well, it took me a couple hours locked in my mind and a headache, but it is clear that an experience like this one will be full of obstacles and learning. When things don't go according to the plan they start turning gray. But again, it is cool to see the bright side of things. It will rain, plans will change and there will be misunderstandings, but at the end of the day I will have seen new things and learnt something new. That is why I am lucky... And I am annoying because that is in my blood!
