So yesterday was the last day of official digging at Porolissum. It was a hot day with very little work....cause we slacked off. The team in a trench near us found the skeleton of what they think is a baby.It was pretty cool...I will hopefully get to see/help excavate it over the next couple of days.
Anyways, last night we had our end of season party. It was really fun, lots of beer, mici, pasta,hamburgers and tuica. We also watched stars on the porta pretoria. This morning however, kind of sucked, cause virtually the whole group of students left for Cluj. It was tough saying goodbye, particularly to my roomates and some of the guys.
Apart from that, there isn't much to say. We changed our plans are going to be visiting the town of Sibiu for 2 nights. It's only like 3 hours away and was the European capital of culture a couple of years back. Should be nice..we are staying in a cheapo hostel to save some dough, but I found one with free breakfast, so rock on.
Hope all is well back home, will be back on in a couple of days probly. Apart from Sibiu, we are staying in the region and should be able to write more often. Porolissum is kind of dead without the group...:(

Ouuu a skeleton! Cryptic but cool. All is good on this end. It's still rain, rain, rain in Ottawa at least 'til next week, but I think there's an end in sight (hopefully). I'm missing out on precious tanning time because of this constant cloud coverage (note my cool alliteration).
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your return. Saying goodbye to the team sucks, but you can look forward to saying hello to your peeps back home. Have some Fanta for me!

Exciting to find ancient skeletal remains...are these human or animal? I think you mentioned one of the team is an osteologist. She/he must have been excited with such a find.
ReplyDeleteHave fun in Sibiu and enjoy the rest of your trip. See you soon!
