On the road again...

Hey, so sorry for that somewhat sombre last post, I was feeling kind of down. Well the rest of Saturday was pretty relaxing. We washed some pottery and did a bit of reading. It was pretty quiet to say the least. Sunday...well Sunday Dara and I did like a shitpile of pottery washing to help Eric out. It's kind of fun seeing how the dirty shards we find turn out to be quite pretty. That afternoon however, Eric invited us to join him on an outting to try and find some so called "monster rocks" he saw in a tourist magazine. Well we found the rocks, which were big, but they didin't look like monsters sadly. We climbed on them and we even found a cave. What we didn't know though, that there was the village nearby's festival going on right near the rocks. We were able to get a bite to eat, listen to some traditional romanian music and see some folkoric dancing. Good times

Archaeology wise...now this is the good part. I was put in a really awesome pit yesterday...Eric found some pretty much intact hypocaust pillars of the known bath complex and he asked me(and later Arina) to excavate it...turns out at the bottom of the pit, there was this really nice floor. So we definitely had a good day....we laid out to do some tanning after and Eric surprised us with icecream. Life doesn't get better than that.

Oh and more news...so I mentionned Roman Days at Porolissum a couple of posts ago...well not only will we be able to watch Transilvania's biggest toga party BUT WE WILL BE IN IT!!!! Yup...they are totally hooking us up with togas and sandals for the event. It's going to be beyond awesome and the best way to end our trip which ends in a week....but gianttogapartyomigoshyay!!!!

Oh ya...so we ditched our beloved Porolissum for one last sidetrip to Sibiu. We just got here..and it seems really nice with a friendly receptionist.

We have internet here...so we should be able to write again tomorrow...so if you need a fast response from us...now is the time.


Much love from the land of togas and 2 min showers,

Val

P.S Chucky your alliteration was fabulous!
