I finished my fieldwork on Saturday - yippee! I worked my ass off all week and it was a rush on Saturday to get it all complete, but we did it. The next few days I will spend doing lab work. Most of the artifacts cannot be exported so I have to go through and analyze and photograph them here. This is good because it means I cannot procrastinate, but it also means I'm on a tight schedule.
Once Thursday rolls around three of us, Willa, Margaret, and I are hoping on fairies (couldn't resist spelling it that way) and buses and heading down through Guatemala in to Honduras to visit the Maya site Copan and meet up with Matt. I am looking forward to finishing my lab work and having some unrushed leisure travel time. Everything is so cheap down here too. I really want to come back and explore Latin America more. Everyone I talk to says the highlands of Guatemala around Antigua on the western side is amazingly beautiful and one of their favorite spots to visit. Antigua is a Spanish colonial with an interesting cultural scene. The surrounding area sports Maya sites, active volcanoes you can visit and waterfalls and lakes. So if anyone wants to travel around with me for a couple weeks in the future just let me know.
