Tonight was another excellent Underground Texas Grotto meeting. The feature
presentation was by Liz Herren about "Texas Cavers in Vietnam". When she showed
the photos and videos of riding an oar-rowed boat through one of the incredibly
huge caves, it reminded me of a 1985 story by humor writer Dave Barry about
touring the famous Blue Grotto in Italy.
The article was originally published in the Sunday Magazine of the Miami
Herald, which I subscribed to when I lived in Belize. It arrived just before an
international group of cavers organized by Tom Miller gathered at my house for
an expedition to the remote unexplored river caves of the Chiquibul River.
Everyone had read the article, so as we paddled in inner tubes through
kilometers of the deep slow-moving river in huge passage, (well, it was big,
but nothing like the Vietnam caves), you could hear the echos of people yelling
out "When you pudda you handa inna da wadda, you handa looka blue."
Fortunately the Vietnam and Chiquibul trips were much calmer than Dave Barry's
trip. You havta readda da article to understand.
