First and foremost, yall are more than welcome (encouraged) to post comments for me to read, so please do so.
Next, we started looking for artifacts today! After digging and moving mountains of dirt out, we've finally started looking for artifacts, and might I say I was very successful. I found the largest amount of artifacts out of our group. I got a huge amount of pottery, in many pieces, I found a ritual bowl (used for smoking hallucinogens during ceremonies, apparently), fish and turtle bones (from animals they had eaten), and a ton of charcoal (from their fires, which we use to radiometrically date the samples and find out when they were created).
Currently I'm chillin out looking over the coastline at the islands nearby and sailboats sailing around drinking a Dr. Pepper in jorts.
I wish I could impress upon all of you the beauty of this island. The colors are all so vibrant, the water is crystal clear and looking out on it is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures I've taken really don't do it justice. All I can really say is I want to come back sometime.
I can see Union Island, a politically separate island, from where I sit. It's about 3 or 5 miles out across perfect turquoise ocean, with a little orange and blue rowboat in between. You can see beaches and trees on hillsides overlooking the coast, and mountains (which I plan on hiking sometime soon), and gorgeous houses overlooking the pristine scene. It's really something else.
Hope yall enjoy, and post comments!
I miss everyone, I love you all, and I'll see you in a few weeks!
