Long Time, No Post

Sorry for the delay in posting everyone!
I was alerted to the fact that I hadn't posted anything in a while by my mother, thanks very much mom.
Well, it's been rather eventful lately, to be honest.  I just got back from karaoke and a big feast/party thrown by the local police at the botanical gardens, partly in our honor.  One of the program directors sang Poker Face by Lady Gaga.  I have to say it was hilarious. 
But, earlier today was pretty chill, just went to the beach, got my left shoulder pretty burnt, played frisbee, snorkelled a little, etc. It was a nice, relaxing day after a week of working at the site.
Speaking of the site, I got to excavate a human burial Thursday!  It turns out to be a lot more particular and precise work than the rest of the excavation, because keeping the positioning intact is just as important as preserving the bones themselves, and therefore we had to be careful where we dig so as not to shift the bones at all. It was a complete skeleton, buried in the fetal position (presumably wrapped up in a cotton hammock), on top of a large turtle.  This was the most striking feature, because this has not been observed before, in the Carribean or other island nations, and presumably anywhere.  The Amerindians (the society we're excavating) ascribed great importance to turtles, because of the duality of their amphibious lifestyle which represented life and death, or the earth and spirtitual realms.  It is assumed that this person (gender yet to be determined) was important, possibly a leader or a shaman, and that is why the turtle is present.
Also, when examining the mandible, we found a third molar eruption (wisdom tooth), meaning the person was at least 18 or 19 upon death, but judging by the wear on the other teeth in comparison to the wear on the third molar, they were most likely  between 30 or 40.
Crazy stuff.  It was exciting.
Last night, I was invited to do an impromptu concert at a restaurant across the street.  It's owned by the same guy who owns the hotel in which we're staying, and he had heard me playing, so I got to play a concert/jam sesh at the restaurant for our group and some of the locals.  Pretty awesome stuff!
Anyways, we're heading to Mopion tomorrow, it's a secluded island reef in the southern bay of the island, and you can get there by hiking through the mountains, or by boat (we're taking a boat).  Apparently it's gorgeous, so I'll post pictures soon!
Til then!
