The days have fallen into a routine -- we get up at 7:00 and head out to the site, working until our 15 minute tea-break at 11, and then again until 1:00. We take siesta until 4:00 and then work from then until 6:00 either floating, sorting or washing finds.
Today the Director of the American School in Athens stopped by to inspect our work, so we had to make sure the site was tidy -- or as tidy as a dig can be and still look like digging is actually happening. The director was an interesting and kind man, and was very enthusiastic about our work. We took him to dinner at a small taverna way up in the hills at Selia, a village just inland of Plakias.
We were able to try out traditional dishes such as snails, friend cheese, sausage, and orange-chicken. Needless to say it was amazing, and the food is certainly one of the first things I will miss back home!
