“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
I was out of the country for most of the winter break this school year. It was great to see new places. I enjoyed having new experiences. Still, I was exhausted when I got back. After I got back, we had to do laundry. We jumped right back into the swing of things a couple of days later. Sometimes it feels like I need a vacation from my vacation.
One of the places we visited while in Willemstad, Curaçao was Hato Caves. Hato Caves were used by slaves as a place to escape from their owners to find freedom. In 1967, the government started to protect the caves. The caves are made of limestone and are close to the surface. As a result, it is one of the most humid caves I have ever been in. Despite being humid, it was a cool experience. We saw various cave formations and some bats flying around too.
My current camera lacks a built-in flash. This is different from my last camera. Yet, one thing it excels at is low-light photography. You can’t get any lower light than inside a cave. These images make it seem like it was lighter inside the cave than it really was.
I have took several videos of Hato Caves when I visited. But, I haven’t had a chance to look through them or upload them yet. For now, here is a video of while I was on my cruise ship on the way to Willemstad.
