Nanananana BATMAN!

Yesterday we left Texas and we drove to the Enchantment State, New Mexico! We stopped at Carlsbad to see the Carlsbad Caverns, but unfortunately it was closed because of a "hazardous spill" in one of the caves. Luckily we did get to watch the Bat Flight, which was very impressive. The Bat Flight is every evening at twilight, when the bats come out of their cave to go hunting. There was a ranger who told us that there were approximately 400,000 bats in the Bat Cave of Carlsbad. He also said that this was not very much in comparison to the biggest Bat Cave somewhere in Texas, where there were about 20 million bats! We had to be very quiet for the bats to come out, and we weren't allowed to make pictures during the flight.

In this picture you can see a bit of the amfitheater where we watched the bats, left of my head. It was a very beautiful park, and it's a shame we only stayed for one night. (Esther scripsit)
