Holidays.... Already?

Ahhhh.... Days at the beach. So relaxing and beautiful... The weather was great, (as always) no one got burnt, (which is weird) and we found a spot where coral was washed up or showing through the sand. (as seen in the picture) And all of this is to blame on the elections. Why? You ask? Because elections is loud, exciting, and especially dangerous!!!
So school was canceled. Yippee! Isn't that a good enough reason to go the beach? We thought so too. But enough about the beach, we did other things this week, Caving!!!
This caving story is one told so many times that people are starting to get tired of it but it will be told anyway. Our class is studying caves in science, and since we are studying caves, why not go caving? On Wednesday we woke at six got to school at seven and left for a three hour drive on a gua-gua(hope thats spelt right) and got to the cave by 11. This particular cave is located by a German mine. A "ten minute walk"(inside joke) to the cave and we were on our way. I will not waste my time describing this cave because quite frankly I can't. It is extremely beautiful. Repel down a slope, repel down a cliff slide down some rubble, and enter a very large dome like chamber. It was so fun! Well that is basically it. We will post some pictures of in the cave soon.
