So I believe in my last post I discussed my first find of human remains. In the past two days it has increased. In our grave I have found two teeth and multiple other bones. Yesterday we started to lift out the full skeleton of the body found in another tomb. I lifted out all kinds of long bones, femures, humus, radius.. I even pulled out a part of the sciatic notch. We ended up digging for lost of the days, morning and afternoon. I sunburnt the crap out of myself, weird blotches on my legs and arms. It looks ridiculous and now that it's turning into a tan it just looks like I haven't showered in days and am covered in dirt. At least I'm tanned? After out dig Nina and I went shopping. Have i mentioned that the Spanish girls don't eat? I swear I don't know how else they are so thin. All the pants are made for people who are stick thin. Even my archaeologist supervisor says that clothes here aren't made for normal people. I did end up buying a shirt but that's about it. I bought Tab a scarf for her birthday and Nina picked up a cake. So we celebrated in style, with all the intention of going out that night for drinks but 11pm came around and we were all passing out. The only accomplishment I made was painting my toe nails with Nina. Today was our excursion day so we got to sleep in because we had no where to be until 11. For our excursion we visited Talaytoic archaeological sites. It was awesome. The site was an entire city. Some of those homes incorporated caves as part of the house and we were able to go into it. I took tons of pictures. After that we were set free onto this beautiful beach even though the wind was nuts. Apparently the north wind that hits the island is really dangerous so we went to the south to avoid the wind storm. After getting back to the house we forced ourselves to go out. We found a jazz cocktail bar that was built in a cave. It was so cool. It was really relaxed and the atmosphere was great. I had the best strawberry daiquiri of my life. Tomorrow we are renting a car for 30 euro and exploring the island. I will post more later. Goodnight Ottawa!
