Friday!

Today was a long day in the sun. The students started excavating trenches and it was very hot with no wind. The students are spread out all over the site so I along with their Professor walk in a loop visiting all the students, checking in and answering any questions. We even finished an hour early because of the sun. Thankfully I get a little time off. A friend and I are staying in Amman (the capital) this weekend. We are in a nice hotel with air conditioning and ICE! It will be a nice break from the heat and we will do some shopping and relaxing. We will head back Sunday and get ready for another full week. 

We are here!

We have made it. I have been so tired I haven't posted yet. We arrived Tuesday night had dinner and went to bed. On Wednesday we had a late start and started getting everything ready for today. It is very hot right now, we are going through a heat wave so it has been a long couple of days on the site. Today we went out and set up all the trenches for the students. We have 10 students digging in 9 trenches. There is a lot going on as we prepare to open the museum in a couple weeks. Today we finished early because of the heat but tomorrow the real work begins.

Going Back!

I'm going back! Tomorrow I leave for Amman, we have a long non-stop flight. I will be meeting up with the students from Calvin in Chicago and we will be traveling together. Will post again when we get in. See you in a month.
