Helloo dear readers! So this past week has been kind of bittersweet. It's the last week with the Porolissum team and tomorrow will be the last day of "official" digging. I can say that although it took longer than last year, I believe that I did make some great friends and that I will be quite sad when they all leave Saturday morning. We had a busy week of social engagements. Monday was Rob's birthday dubbed the "Robanalia". We went to the pub and one of the workers made him this deliciously fluffly cake covered in fruit slices( I have a pic) . We gave him a bottle of Dracula vodka from Sighisoara as a gift. Then we had a couple of quiet nights...till last night when one of the workers named Ioana invited us for a swim at her house. Turns out her family is very well off and we got to cool down, have a beer and some good food. Her family was very kind and very generous. Good times.
Um...yeah...it was hot today and my brain is kinda fried...sooo...what else...I found a cool tile with a stamp on it, its fantastic and really clear. It's from the "1rst legion Hispania" or something. anyways I will double check with the resident Rome geek before I leave.
So on an FYI note. Here are our potential plans for the next 13 days or so. We are planning on staying to help out at Porolissum till the 28th or the 29th. Then we will head to the Black Sea coast for a couple of days if we can find a cheap flight, cause its far, then we will be back to Zalau in time for Roman Days( like everyone gets dressed up in Roman getup at Porolissum...awesome...more on it later. Then we will probly hitch a ride with Eric to Budapest, since he has to go through there on his way to Italy.
I have to end it here sadly...well not really. We must get back to make Poutine. Yup. Its poutine night in Romania...Hurray!!!
Ciao from the land of rocks and lemon fanta!!
