Dad took the girls to go underground in a real (now only for tours) coal mine, the oldest in Wales. The girls thought the ‘elevator’ was unsettling at best, terrifying at worst. At one point Dad and the older girls were hunched over trying to get through the tunnel, while the tunnel ceiling was brushing against Lani’s helmet. Good thing they had helmets, as they kept bumping their heads! Afterwards, they wandered around the playground even though it was raining (“Wales weather” say the girls). It was a good experience. The girls left with something of an understanding about how difficult it would have been to work there.
