Rio Camuy Caves!!

You can barely see, but this is a photo from inside a gigantic cave system in the middle of the island near a town called Lares. The Rio Camuy caves are one of the largest and deepest caves in the world! It was so amazing to see the stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over the last several million years! Took me back to college Geology!!
Here are the two big boys in their safety hats! :)
I couldn't resist having our photo taken inside the cave wearing the big green hats!
The next day, we went out to visit Papi's cousin and her family on Sunday afternoon for lunch. We explored around their property and found some interesting creatures, including this huge catepillar, who had several family members with him on the same bush. We wished that we could have seen him turn into a butterfly, he was beautiful!
Here is the shot of the whole family. On the right side of the photo is Papi's cousin Allejandra and her family and the Quinones clan is on the left and in the front. We all had a great time together!
