This is the Camuy Caves in Puerto Rico. It's an interesting cave since it's the first one I saw that's got a hole where you can see the light and plants from above! I guess you could call the hole a "sinkhole" from above? I don't know, I'm a bit fuzzy on the description of the caves now... hehehe! Wikipedia to the rescue!
(Lifted from wikipedia) "
The Parque de las Cavernas del Río Camuy (Camuy River Cave Park), is one of the largest cave systems in the world [4][5][6] and the largest in the Western Hemisphere [7] ."
I believe we were inside the Clara cave. The walk inside the cave is not that long but I do remember the floor being slippery especially once we got closer to the river!
This is the radio telescope that we went to see at the Arecibo Observatory. It's huge!!! What was interesting too was, we saw it move since somebody was performing some experiments at the time!!! Have you seen the movie "Contact"? This is where they filmed it! They have a museum there that mentions the work of SETI there!
Well, this is not a photo from the caves or the observatory... This was taken on our way back to San Juan from the observatory... hehehe! Isn't it pretty?
Here's a view of the fort from a different angle! Can you see the light house? =)
