Dig day 2
Our day began again at about 4am. We gathered in our parking lot, caught the bus most of the way up our hill and then hiked the remaining ¼ mile to the site. Although it is only the second day, we are all beginning to develop a nice rhythm. We work until about 11:45 then head back to the kibbutz – by that time we are very dirty and have been swimming to wash; then off to lunch, a nap and meetings or pottery cleaning at 4:30pm.
The rest of the day is ours to do as we please with it. Today, after lunch and before a nap I visited the small market shop at our kibbutz for a few supplies and small gifts for friends and family. This afternoon we will be cleaning our found pottery by the sea. Today is also my birthday and a few of us hope to patronize the pub this evening to celebrate. I am having proplems with photos and will post more asap!
Things are very good!

Enjoyed the picture of you and your mom. I had to remind myself who she was. For a minute I thought maybe you’d finally been “caught”! I am enjoying reading comments from all of you, especially those of you I know better. I haven’t done it before so it’s one of my “must-do’s” this summer…enjoy yourself.
