A few weeks ago, I was obsessing about the Great Blue Hole in Belize. I know it's beautiful but the idea of this underwater sinkhole freaks me out. I remember how scared I was when I went scuba diving a few years ago... I was so scared that I never let go of the guide's hand the whole time we were submerged. Even though I saw the most amazing things, I know that I will never go diving again. I think I will just appreciate the ocean by the shore.
This afternoon I was shocked when I saw the
Guatemala sinkhole on the news. How is this possible? And just 3 years after the first one that swallowed about a dozen homes and killed 3 people. It's so scary! I think I have spent over 4 hours reading up on sinkholes today. I hope that the residents in this area recover soon.
