Winding Down

This post will be brief, as there's not much to report. We came back to Porolissum on Thursday. The camp still feels really empty without all my fabulous new friends; it's just Val, Eric, Mark, Zsolt, Alexandru, and myself. Arina was there as well but she left with her parents this morning. A couple of guys from the museum visit every so often too, Cristi and Adi, the latter having spent the night at the camp with us last night. The night was fun, as more alcoholic focus was spent on Val (for once!) rather than myself - I guess people have given up on trying to get me drunk? It's simply an impossible task.

This morning was short, as we went down to site around 9:00 instead of 8:00. Val and I worked on sketching floor plans for a couple of the trenches. After lunch, we didn't go back down because we were told some important archaeological commissioner was visiting, but he never came. In any case, we'll finish off our work tomorrow.

Right now we're in Zalau to meet up with Ioana for a girls' night out: dinner and drinks.

I'm really excited for the weekend, Zalau Days and Porolissum Days. We should get our completed togas soon, and it shall be awesome.

That's all for now, I've got to get going to meet Ioana.

P.S. I've completed Lamb, and have now moved on to Labyrinth, by Kate Mosse; it's Val's book and it's 700 pages - I'm not sure I'll complete this one in time before I have to return it! We shall see. I'd like to be able to say I read eight books in a six week period.

Ciao!
