A lot has been happening here. I worked a few days at Seyla and dug a huge hole even deeper. The weather the past few days has been absolutely amazing, however the farmers here haven't seen nearly enough rain. We are finished at Seyla now and the whole crew has been moved to Medalheimur, the site that had all the thufars. We opened up a huge strip along it and have been digging (mainly with shovels) like crazy. The dirt is so dry from the lack of rain that it constantly goes into our eyes and lungs. But we still have to appreciate all the sunshine... at any moment we can be digging in horrible rain, and that's much worse than some dirt. We've uncovered a series of walls that would have belonged to a turf building which held sheep. The pictures on flicker show the 'unit' punctuated with stone and turf lines. Essentially we spend our days mapping these walls, and pulling back the turf to better understand the building, which appears to have had an addition that truncated the older building. The days fly by though and this weekend is our big excursion... 8 of us... "the kids" ... are going on a weekend trip to Snaefellsness (which is a place with a glacier) and then we are spending a night at a hostel. On Sunday we are going to the 'Golden Circle' which is Geysir, Gulfoss (a waterfall) and Pingvelir (whish is essentially the mid atlantic ridge above water). The weekend is gonna be hectic but amazing... and we are hopefully gonna be able to do it all for under $200 which is good enough for me. Its our only overnight adventure and we are gearing up for it, having already stocked up on junk food for the many hours of driving. Anyway... things are essentially amazing here... Everyone is getting tan and I am going blond (go figure) but we all start the day in 4 or 5 layers of clothes... which come off, and go back on, regularly throughout the day. The dinners here have been excellent and they will be missed while we are traveling this weekend. Check out the pics... I added about 100 more ... :o)
