Day 33- Semi-Formal Friday/Final Day of Excavation

I got out to the truck this morning to find a couple of the girls with their work shirts tucked in and buttoned to the neck- they declared it "semi-formal friday".  We had a good day in the field and had some light sprinkles before lunch that sent everyone scrambling.  Then, it officially poured at 12:30 and we all ran for the tarped areas.  I saved some artifacts bags that were under the tarped areas but not in buckets, so, the water flowed right to them.  We left a little after 1, and the rain was basically done, but, so were we.  We didn't finish everything.  But, that will just have to be ok.

We went to Ernesto's "bar"- which is really just an open building with a room in the back with soda and some liquor.  Ernesto's wife served up cheese sauce and chips and mangoes with cool flavoring.  It was great!!  We rode home and I started laundry for us girls- we put it off a couple of days because we didn't want to deal with it on Wednesday.  The Internet was horrible- but is much improved now :)

Tomorrow, we have to switch rooms.  We are trading rooms with some people and moving to better housing, for the same rate because we are special people!  However, we all have to be out of the rooms and have our luggage in a central location- both of our groups- so that the cleaning ladies can clean both sets of rooms and then we can all switch.  It's rather confusing.  But, it was either move now or a little bit later.  Now is fine.  We are also going to San Ignacio tomorrow to visit the town and the awesome market.  I can't wait!!!
