Tonight I am as sore as I've ever been in my life. I have battle scars in the form of multiple bruises. I am warm for the first time since this morning. And I wouldn't trade any of these feelings for the world. Tonight I am in a state of pure joy and I am looking forward to the next trip. For the next six weeks of class I hope to have many more of these adventures.

Must Come Up.
24 hours ago I was overwhelmingly excited about the adventure that awaited me. Today I successfully completed my first vertical caving experience. I could spend this entire blog trying to explain how I felt and the thoughts going through my head, but they would fall flat. Words cannot express the awe and humble feelings of rappelling nearly 200 feet in a few minutes. Or the sincere tranquility of sitting in a room at the bottom of a cave with no lights, listening to a cascading waterfall and singing from pure joy.

Wow! How exciting! I love the line "the sincere tranquility of sitting in a room at the bottom of a cave with no lights, listening to a cascading waterfall and singing from pure joy." Such a great mental picture!
