Sand in and behind my ears, sand in my eyes, sand in my shoes, sand in my gloves, sand stuck to EVERYWHERE that had sun block, and even sand up my nose. But I am having so much fun!!! We are working on cleaning out the backfill and tarps from last year. Wind + sand >.< At least the wind keeps us cool, so I can't really complain. But I can sympathize with Gen about the whole sand in the food situation now. I guess that's what we get for being right next to the beach. We're on siesta now, I'm so tired! I just finished taking notes and pictures for my essay that I have to write when this is all finished. I'm having fun learning about "straight joints" and how you can use them to tell which rooms were built later than others. And I am going to be in such amazing shape after doing nothing but shift sand for hours on end, lifting full buckets out of the house, shoveling more into buckets. All this while surrounded by ancient history, it boggles the mind! Good for the body and the soul, AND it counts for credits and field experience. Cheers!
