Digging in the Sun

We started off our day by traveling over to an archaeological dig site (tal-Villa Rumana fiz-Zejtun) to help with excavating some ruins. We were given a quick overview of the site by Dr. Maxine Anastasi and then took a quick break before getting to work. Since the site was covered up with dirt to protect it during the winter, our job was to help uncover the dirt and sediment. After working for a couple hours we were ready to go and eat. We said our goodbyes and took the bus back to our apartment.

For lunch we went to Mint, a trendy casual restaurant. They had fantastic food and drinks. We also met up with Timmy briefly to chat. After lunch we went back to the apartment to work on our programming related tasks. Chris and his family also came over briefly to pick up their bags and say hi before leaving us forever :(

For dinner we went out for crepes. Delicious! Afterwards we went out to the beach to say bye to the water polo girls Amy has been practicing with.
