So I've been on this excavation for a full week as of today and so I figured now was as good a time as any to talk about the people I have been living and working alongside. As the title suggests, we are a very diverse group. Even those of us from the US are from all over (West coast, Midwest, East coast). It isn't just our accents that make us different - its everything. We have every range of interest and all ages as well. There is everything from Episcopalian priest to staunch Atheist, yet everyone gets along very well. The ten of us are easily able to walk to a bar and grab a drink after excavating. It is a very unique dynamic. It reminds me a lot of the title of my blog. We are all on our own journey. No one of the ten of us came to Menorca for the same reason. We live in this weird time we call the present, always somewhere between where we have been and where we are going, somewhere between here and there. Its great to meet so many people from such different walks of life and realize that we get along very well.
Some of us in above a local beach:
At the beach you can give yourself a clay mud bath, so naturally we had to try:
Anyway enough with the philosophical thoughts on people and on to digging. We've been working furiously to finish up the two tombs we have been working on. One of the them has a lot of bones, the other has almost none. We switch every day so that we all have a chance in the good tomb. Today I was in the rather empty tomb, but we made great progress and hit bedrock, so the tomb essentially finished. There are still a lot of bones in the other.
