Today we went to see dinosaur tracks and a enormous cave. Our driver,Fernando drove us down to were the dinosaur walked. The dinosaur tracks were smaller than my feet, some were big and some were small. Our driver was at the end of the field, he was cleaning out a dinosaur track. Meghan and I helped him. We used sticks and rocks to get all the dirt out. We walked back to the car and drove down to see the cave.
The cave was one of the favorite things in my life. We first went inside a small house, we ate our food and left our bags. They gave us helmets with headlamps. We walked down the path and went inside the cave. The cave was huge and very dark. The rocks were very slippery and I slipped several times. There were many stalagtites that hung down and bumped our heads. One of the best things inside the cave were the ladders and ropes. There was a small little tunnel too, which you had to crawl through. Our guide tied ropes around rocks when we needed them and we climbed down them. We had to crouch down and hold onto rocks beneath us to get down. It was a long walk. One room in the cave was called the theater. It had stalagtites and stalagmites that looked like curtains on a stage. There was a high place that looked like seats where rich people sat to see a show. When we got to a large space, many people who had entered the cave before it was a park, burnt out their candles and used the ash to sign their names on the wall. They had thought that was the end. Our guide told us to turn off all our lights to see how dark it was. We did and a moment latter it was pitch black dark. Then we turned back on our lights and our guide told us that the cave went on. We crawled through a very small hole with sand that felt good on our bare hands. We had to squish our bodies tight to fit through the small holes but we made it. After that we saw a small lake that had many small blind fish. Then we headed out and climbed up many slippery rocks crouching and crawling. We got through and saw a small hole with light. We were almost there. We climbed up more hard rocks and I slipped again. We climbed even more big rocks and the hole got bigger and bigger. Finally we walked out of the cave and Meghan and I climbed up on a flat rock and yelled "We did it!".
