the spelunkers bathed in sunshine
Our guide - the community assigns someone to take visitors around as part of their mandatory social service - shines a powerful torch onto the cave ceiling. Each limestone knob represented some kind of animal.
The community collected corn from all the neighbors and set to removing the kernels from the cobs in time to make tortillas and atol for the patron saint day.
