Not much time to write

Quick update -- it's hotter here than it's been all year. that started the day we arrived, of course.

The work is not getting easier, but I guess I am shaping up a bit...doesn't seem as strenuous. We have found some coins, and one of the other groups found another infant amphora burial today, and we all got to check it out. Of course it was very interesting, and it is good to know that the site is rich!

In other news, our dig director Enrico (he is a young assistant professor, only 33)and two of his students, Max and Massimo, took some of us out dancing at a club on the beach last night and it was lots of fun. It's good to get to know the Italians, as the more friendly we all are the easier the work is (at least mentally). He is taking me on a tour of the Medieval churches in town this weekend, as it is what he did his PhD dissertation on, and I'm very much looking forward to that! Our group is also planning on doing something for the 4th of July and inviting all of the Italians. We have to get our hands on some fireworks...

So wish us luck and hopefully I will update soon!

Take care,
Candace
