Such a nice area! We went to a long cave thing that was apparently dug without modern equipment. It is 400 meters long, and was apparently supposed to go 400 meters more, but life and heavy rock got in the way. Really nice quiet energy there.

Visited a 41.8 meter tall statue which is 10 meters taller than Corcovado in Rio. So interesting because my memory of Corcovado is that it was taller. Like way taller. Is it an illusion? Faulty memory?

We went to the daruma shrine after going to a daruma shop where they had hundreds of different daruma in a wide variety of sizes and colors, including some branded with sports teams logos.
