Sterkfontein Caves / Cradle of Humankind

WOW! Now this is what I would classify as an "adventure." Today Anna and I got to visit the Cradle of Humankind where the oldest human fossils (by a long shot) were found. We actually got to go underground and check out the excavation sites. How cool! There were actually scientists still searching the caves for some undiscovered fossils.

This is a picture of the narrow and eerie descent into the caves. It's amazing how the temperature drops! What an experience!!
