Stalactites and stalagmites. An under ground cave with 60 million years of earth history. A constant 56 degrees. What a treat after mostly 90 degree temperatures.
A geology lesson and a person who spoke English for the tour. I didn't realize that much of the stress I was feeling was from exerting so much energy trying to understand and to be understood.
The photo below are of drapes. Unlike the stalactites, they are solid. Whee taped on with a key, then make a musical sound. Different tones for different sixes drapes. The stalactites are flat in tone with no resonance.
Before the original entrance closed up, this cave was a home for bats. One did not make it out and is petrified on a stone.

There's also a spot where the bat guano remains, dark against the creams and yellows of the stalactites and stalagmites.
