grottoes
Someplace cool and subterranean, I wish there was something like that here. These were the kinds of things that fascinated me as a kid but I never knew how to find out more about them. Thank you Internets!
Look up pics of the catacombs of Paris. I even have some shots of them somewhere on the innerwebs at my place. All the decor is skulls and femurs. It's cool. It's underground. And there are 6 million skeletons in the City of the Dead.
What, you too good for the asbestos-and-cockroach ridden basement of the Towering Slab?
