Cuevas, cuevas y mas cuevas

Last Friday, we went to visit a cave that Kevin already had visited but had not really explored the inside of. The cave does not have trails or lights inside it which made it a lot more fun to explore with our headlamps. There were three big rooms and one short tunnel in which Shannon supposedly saw a spider and got scared and ran away. She did continue to explore in the cave, just not in any small spaces. There were lots of sparkly rocks and some cool formations. It was the first time that either of us had explored a cave on our own without a guide, and it was awesome! After exploring the cave, we went out and swung on vines Tarzan style. It was really fun and we highly recommend it. We ended up going back the next day because more people wanted to see the cave and it was still awesome. We also had to retrieve the camera case that the cave stole from us. Luckily we got it back, without much of a struggle. This week we have been meeting with a Fullbright Specialist in linguistics who is helping us become great English teachers. This is especially helpful to Kevin as he will be teaching English at the university next semester. Kevin also went on another tour of the University (he learns something new every time) and milked a cow for the first time in his life and tried the fruit of the cashew tree as well as some juice. Not bad. Today, for the second time in 10 days we have enough water pressure to take a shower, without a bucket. Because it has been so dry, there isn't enough water and some days we only have it in the sinks and other days not at all. It is also the season to burn off the dead fields and we could barely see the mountains (that are really, really close)yesterday and today. It is kind of like being back at home but worse. It is also really hot here now and Shannon wants to die 500 times a day. Friday we are going to Isla Del Tigre and Amapala to hang out with other married couples in Peace Corps Honduras. Then to the glorious United States, we can hardly wait to see everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
