Spotting The Rare Cave Leopard

Today I went on another bike ride with Roland, Steffi, and Dan. We visited the Leopard Cave. There are tons of caves around here, and typically each one will have a handwritten sign with a paragraph of text hyping it. Not all the caves live up to their hype The Leopard cave did though. The caves are pitch dark once you get inside, and you need too bring your own lighting, or sometimes you can rent a flashlight. The cave was quite deep, with multiple narrow passageways. We were not even able to explore all of them, or be sure that we had reached an end. Along the way we saw a huge cave spider about the size of your hand, with reddish legs and a stark white body, and glowing white eyes! Following what seemed to be the main passageway, we eventually came to a massive rock formation descending from the ceiling of the cave. After staring at it in awe for a few moments, we all agreed that it resembled a leopard, running in full charge. This cave earned its name! Just outside the cave was a spring-fed pool with cool clear water that we all swam in -- so refreshing!

After that, I took them on another book distribution mission to a small remote village. We went to the school but the students had already left. So we left lessons for them on the blackboard :)

We then raced back to get to the bike rental place in time (we arrived about 20 minutes late but didn't get charged extra!).
