Day 5: Recreational Day

Our day has been full of excitement. We took a two hour tour through Mammoth Cave in the National Park, walking over a mile through the caves and traveling 250 feet deep. It's the world's longest known cave system, with over 400 miles explored. We toured the domes and dripstones, which included the entire Frozen Niagara. It baffled me how long and deep the caves went. There's so much more I wanted to explore that just couldn't be done in two hours. After the tour we went back to the community center for a couple hours then headed off to dinner at Golden Corral with some of the Habitat construction workers and their families. We enjoyed our meals and conversations, said our heartfelt goodbyes, and were on our ways. The last day you see everyone is always the worst. We've grown really close to some of them this past week and the goodbye hugs were hard to give. I'm so thankful so have gotten to know such great people though, this is definitely an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life.
