Traveling the world with my mom for 4th grade...

Gouffre de Proumeyssac 

Today I saw my first cave and it was an awesome first cave. They had lots of crystalline rocks and water dripping down the whole time. This cave started 70 million years ago. Before there was an ocean and an earth quack helped make the cave. We got to walk into a tunnel and way down into the cave. We couldn’t take photos. The cave had lots of sparkling crystals. The man who owned the land was brave enough to go into a hole that everyone said was a devil hole. It was 1907. He went down in a small barrel lowered by a horse. He told everyone that it was beyond his imagination. People went down the hole using the horse until 1956. The barrel would move back and forth a lot with horse. That would be scary. Now you can use a tunnel or a round cage lowered by a machine. At the bottom, they put a table with pottery and the water dripping from the limestone hits the pottery and it makes it like crystals. We bought a pot!

The tunnel entrance.

      Mom said it cost a lot and we couldn’t do it. I was kind of mad but she got me ice cream. And that was a lot of money too.

    Caves are super secret places with wonderful treasures. Did you go down in the cage or the tunnel? Love the pottery piece. G
