So we've been digging for a week now and have gotten to know the new students at this point and alll is going well. It's not the same as last year, its not as fun I admit, I think we were much closer as a group..but I think it will be fine, my expectations were set high. Most days have been hot and humid with rainy evenings. We went to Otilias bar....and on our way, got soaked from a thunder storm...then everybody got piss drunk...and I had to help take care of drunk people. Its tough working with a pick and shovel for 8 hours strait and then party all night. At around 9pm Im usually ready for bed haha.
Archeology wise..Ive been working in trench 21 for a few days doing various things. I got paired up with a girl named Lauren and we got stuck in the "pit of death"...which is basically a deep hole. It started out rough, but then we started finding things...so it became the pit of "awesomeness". We found a nice handle, a coupla' nails, lots of nice pot rims...goood stuff. Other trenches have uncovered some nice walls and 2 fallen columns, probly one of the best finds in 2 years. Oh and I had some mici or mititei.....yummmy. We had a feast for Canada day and USA day last night...lots of good food. Too much food and too much beer.
I am getting really tan and sunburnt...but aside from that, I am enjoying myself. The people are just as generous and fabulous as last year and the scenery is breathtaking. It really is nice to be away from it all.
Thats all for now, my dear friends and family. Thanks for the comments, it's really nice to hear from you all.
