Aah. I was able to get some work done most mornings on an article I am writing on education programs in prisons. It was very nice to begin the day's adventures knowing that I had also accomplished at least an hour or so of writing.
I posted the photo below on Facebook about this time during the vacation, and it garnered lots of comments. Everybody loves typos.
The vehicles were really quite amazing, as the "roads" were just ruts and pits, and we often had to drive up and down at odd angles. Our first stop was a trip among the treetops, where we walked along a series of swinging bridges strung between the trees.
After lunch, we drove over to Lost River Gorge for another walk on a series of wooden bridges and steps.
There are several caves along the way that you can explore, particularly if you are limber enough and small enough. We skipped the more difficult ones (for example, one required crawling on your hands and knees through a narrow passage, and we saw no reason at all to try that). But I did check out the Devil's Kitchen cave.
And I walked down into a cave in which, though it is only 10 or so feet below the level of the walkway, the difference in temperature is so great that when I was down there my breath condensed.
Of course, after all that walking down into the gorge, we had to walk back up.
Back to home base for a swim and dinner and a movie.
