Happy Canada Day from Israel

| No Comments
Hi Everyone

The Canadians in our group sent a petition to Dr. Schuler to have Canada off.  It didn't work, but everyone had a good laugh. 

Today on the dig we found a wall!  Dr. Schuler was quite thrilled.  This will hopefully give us a boost of energy to keep going, especially since the heat is suppose to return. I thought this was a joke, but it's true.

I learned two tricks of the trade to make it to the end of the day.  One is to use a wet bandana on my head.  The other is to be the last one to leave the site, because the walk down is horrible in the heat.  No shade or breeze.  Then if the bus isn't quite there, you have to suffer.  Better to wait until it is, but not too late that you miss it.

Tonight we learned that a marble column at the site was imported from the center of Egypt.  The expense to get that in there!

It's late now so off to bed for me. I hope to write more tomorrow.  D.S.
