rickvsRachal and I are at her folks' place in Seguin. She doesn't have to teach at either campus this week since both of her spring breaks line up, and I don't have to be back to work till Thursday. Friday, her sister gets married in Houston, and I'll go pick Rachal up from her folks next weekend.
Today we went to the Natural Bridge Caverns near San Antonio, so named because of the one stone arch remaining from the ceiling of a large underground room. It collapsed some five thousand years ago, to the great inconvenience of the bats who roosted there, but there were plenty more nice limestone formations left for us sightseers to gawk at :>
What made this more interesting than other cave trips I've taken is that the area's had a lot of rain these last few weeks, and the lowest rooms were flooded. There was a constant patter of water drops while we toured, which was kinda cool as long as you didn't dwell on the implications while puttering around two hundred feet underground. I'll post photos later, after I get home and have time to tinker with them in Photoshop.
