Hello!
Yesterday on the dig site we found a part of a potential wall that was extremely exciting, along with 2 scorpions!! The first one I put in a bucket with help and let go outside of our perimeter, but the second one our professor killed, and I was more than okay with it. We have been instructed to not sit down, but always crouch while digging so as to avoid getting stung if one does sneak up on us. Our professor said that the sting would hurt, but would most likely not require any serious or immediate medical attention, but I'm still keeping my eyes on the alert. After another dusty day, I asked our professor if we could go to the beach and he acquiesced. We squeezed into the rented van/bus and went after our second lunch, (around 4), and had an amazing time. I got stung by jellyfish a few more times after only being in the water for a minute, but a group of us had chairs in the water and let the waves cover our feet and it was beautiful. Not before three of us girls went and got a cocktail from some very social bartenders at the beach to celebrate the fourth of July, though. We heard music playing and Abbie, Shana, and I went over to find that there was dancing going on. Of course I put my dress on and Abbie and I danced with an old man, some professional female dancers, and close to 8 children on stage for a while. Pictures to come, but it was a beautiful day. After we got back from the beach and the grocery store at the mall, we had dinner and watched a few episodes of The Office on the side of our hostile through a projector and sipped and snacked on whatever we desired. Some of us who were not quite tired stayed up and talked a bit before passing out. We had a similar day today as far as the morning goes, and have now eaten lunch. No plans until dinner, so I think I'm going to take some time and catch up on some reading and relaxation.

OMG scorpions!!! One of my least favorite creatures. You wouldn't catch me sitting down- I'd be searching for them and screwing the remains in the sand. Hehe anyway you sound like you are having a great balance of fun modern activities with some unbelievable historical ones. Keep up the sunscreen and posting so we can all travel along with you. Love you!!
