End of Journey
So the season has officially ended, and, I might add, on an exciting note. The site has garnered much buzz after the minoan lentoid find, the middle helladic pottery (both of which dates the site to much older than previously thought), and also on Alexis' miniature bronze tripod (which was the first one found in the last hundred years or so). I would love to come back next season to work on the altar with Art and Ethni, hopefully as an excavator.
I've spent the last couple of days traveling. I was in Athens for 2 days, saw the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Kerameikos, and the National Museum. Said goodbye to Sarah and Dan, which was very sad, and hopped on a bus to Delphi with my travel buddy Katherine. We saw the museum and then did the sanctuary, which was amazing. Afterwards, we decided to do a later site, so we made our way to Meteora. Somehow, by the blessing of the gods, we made it here, and picked up some friends on the way. Steve, who's from California, Pietro, from Brazil, and Gloria, from Basque country. It's been a blast. Meteora is famous for its jutting rocks which house a handful of remote monasteries. Phil, I think you would really appreciate it here (and I got you something as well ;)
Tomorrow, we're hoping to catch a train back to Athens and spend some time with Clivia before we go home.
