cool adventure

things are going well and i am still getting used to my new setting. i got to go to borgas last weekend and had a great time hanging out with my friends. it was a nice break from the solidarity of living here in malko turnovo alone. i have a good group of people to do stuff with there and i always look forward to seeing them.
work yesterday was awesome. my counterpart took a photographer out to shoot some pictures of a cave in one of the park reserves. they are trying to get new pics for a park calander. anyway, i got to tag along and i convinced my counterpart to accompany them into the cave. it was a decent sized cave, nothing like the huge networks they have at mammoth or jewel caves, but it had several large rooms and connecting tunnels. the entrance was about the size of a large doorway and led in a ways before it dropped down a short way that we had to scramble down. we had helmets and headlamps and there were a few passages that we had to squeeze through on our hands and feet. once get got into the main room we kinda pissed off the bats that resided there, and they were flying around in the dark, illuminated occasionally by the wandering glare of a headlamp beam. the cave had lots of interesting rock features such as stalagtites/mites, columns and beautiful sparkling ribbons of formed rock. we were down there for about an hour and a half or so before we had to head back. it was a sweet trip though.
other than that, the weather is slowly getting colder and colder and winter will soon set in. i am hoping work picks up soon, so i have more to do. winter is a really slow time for the park because no one wants to be outside. anyway, thats all the news for now, i will talk to you all soon. later
