New Mexico Day two

Today we visited Carlsbad Caverns.

Actually, it's very similar to the cave I went by, Marengo Cave in IN. So, I didn't take much pictures in the cave.

However, there are still some differences.

First of all, Marengo Cave located in the hills of forest, but Carlsbad Caverns resides in semi-dessert mountains where shrubs and prickly pears grow all over them.

Secondly, Carlsbad Caverns seems to be larger but I think the formations of limestones in Marengo Cave is more delicate and beautiful.

Thirdly, the most famous sight-seeing of Carlsbad Caverns is probably not the limestones, but the bats. From summer to Fall, hundreds of thousand of bats will migrate to live in the cave. To see them flushing out of the cave is very spectacular.

At night, we went to boat taking along a river in Carlsbad city. The boat drove along the river where houses asides all are decorated with colorful lights (in a sense of Christmas). With the Christmas music on the boat, this trip is so Christmas! It's best trip for young lovers.

When starting getting down the cave I felt like catching a cold, although not severe. Anyway, I hope I could become better tomorrow.
