Whats new... I wasn't feeling well on Monday, I had a terrible sore throat, and upon Steinberg's insistence, I went to the emergency room. He was hoping that if i had strep throat we could get me medicated before it spread to the rest of the crew. Well... no strep for me ... just a cold, BUT when I got to the emergency room a doctor walked right out to see me, and after a half hour the bill was a hundred bucks... of which John paid. It was an interesting Iceland experience.

So today was the last day in the field... and we are all both happy and sad. I am injured, and have a slight cold, so I am excited to be able to rest and relax, but Iceland will be missed. Today a backhoe came and backfilled the site, and then we had the pleasure of re-turfing. It was so warm and beautiful though that it was like our first day in the field weeks ago. Tonight and tomorrow are going to be crazy, with lots of packing and cleaning, but its exciting.

We are all going a lil crazy and I think its time to leave. We get goofier as time passes, and some of us I think have been going somewhat insane. We leave the house Friday at 2am to head to the airport... and then we will be back in Boston noon, eastern time. Its hard to believe its time to go. Most of us have had moments where we said 'I just want to go home' but that seemed so far away... now its here and its bittersweet.

But Iceland have been an amazing experience and the prospect of coming back next year looks better and better. Check out new pics that I just put up! And be sure to check out tess and ken's pics. Ken has panoramas of the sites and such which are AMAZING and interactive.
