Hi! Web just got back from Mexico Saturday evening. I wanted to post a few pictures of some of the things we did...I have many more but it will take a while to get them all uploaded on here so in the mean time here are some of our cave exporation experience. It was so amazing. We hiked down 75 meters underground and then began the decent into the newly discovered Rio Secreto (Secret River) that runs underground. We saw some amazing things...the stilagmites and stilagtites, the formations, all of it was just beautiful. Obviously the work of God! This particular cave was only discovered 2 years ago by a man who was iguana hunting and he just stumbled upon a whole that happened to go deeper and deeper until he found this!!! How amazing! The water was FREEZING down there and there was a large portion of the hike that we were completely submerged..even times it got so tight we had to go completely under to fit and to keep from breaking any of the fragile stilagtites (from the top) off. They are so particular about preservation. And this cave will not be open forever. eventually all of the formations will fuse together and the water level will rise and you won't be able to get down there. Hope you enjoy!
