Challenge Day 346

346. Underground: Imagine living in a home underground and use that as inspiration for writing.

In 1991, I traveled around Australia with a BF in his Ford vehicle (bronco?), stopping for a night in Coober Pedy in the state of South Australia on the way to the Norther Territory. Coober Pedy is the “opal capital of the world” where 60% of the residents live under ground. I had the opportunity to stay in an underground lodging for the night but the only thing I remember about it was that it was dark but nice. Wouldn’t it have been grand if you could walk up to the wall and chip out an opal?
