Today Jeremy and I were invited to go down to Kartchner Caverns near Benson Arizona. My friend Lauren and her husband drove us down and came on the tour with us. The caves are a national park, so everything is almost completely preserved. They don't allow ANYTHING but you in the cave in hopes of keeping it preserved and living. Therefore no cameras. I did buy some postcards at the end. The only pictures I could post were found online. I would totally recommend it to my Arizona friends. A totally educational and fun trip. The stalactites and stalagmites were incredible. I walked in with straight hair and came out with curly hair its about 90% humidity in there! Anyway they had this neat light show to music that showcased parts of the Throne Room area of the cave. The tallest column there is 58 feet tall! The butterscotch coloring of the decorations were gorgeous in person. Everything is so fragile-looking. A truly "spiritual experience." What I found amazing was that we have no idea that there are such amazing things going on below the earth's surface millions of years in the making. These pictures do not do the experience justice. It did cost money to take the tour, but it was definitely worth it. I love exploring new places with my man. <3
