Good morning, and happy Election Day! Remember to get out and vote if you haven’t cast your ballot yet.

Fun fact: There’s a town with buildings built underneath a rock.

A good portion of Setenil de Las Bodegas in Spain is built in a gorge underneath a huge rocky outcropping. Homes are built under the rock, and some homes are built into the rock. Many historians think this area has been occupied by humans since the Stone Age.
