Well we've now done the first 2 fields of our site and there are some interesting bits showing in one corner. Not looking like buildings but could be evidence of human activity with the lagunal areas, eg dredging of channels. We've done about 10 or 11 ha so far and we have about the same to do again. Tomorrow we are going to Portus (hadrians port) to survey just one ha for the local ducal estate as a continuation of some work Kris did a few years ago, and it looks increasingly like I'll be staying till about the second of september to go and work on the smaller site near naples. This will be for the British School at Rome, which is nice to have on the CV!
I'm missing my BF loads and the prospect of being away for twice as long as I already have is a little daunting, but he says to make the most of it, and earning more money can't hurt. I'm scared of my phone bill!!!!
Bug bites and eczema all better now, I think it was just a case of adjusting to things. had some great emails from lots of you, thanks to all!!
Have not yet been to the vatican or the museums and as we're starting as soon as it's light tomorrow to try and get done before the heat is unbearable, once I have done this and found an English newspaper I'm headed back to camping fabulous. Only have 10 mins left and more to online, so I'll love you and leave you for now.
need to shrink my photos before I post them, will do so asap.

I'm glad. And yes, if you can make some more money by staying longer, then by all means, do so.
Camping?
Now you just have to make some sort of major discovery.
On the matter of 'phone bills, have you thought about using some kind of internet telephony? Skype for example? If you can get to an internet connection with it's way cheaper (well, free). My buddy Sameek at uni has family in India and he uses it all the time to stay in touch with them. May be a better way to fight the absent-bf-blues, eh?
I know what you mean though. My first job after graduating was in Eindhoven and i missed my gf so much i spent all my spare wages on flying to see her every other w/e. 1990...Before the days of cheap European flights....
Anyway, you have fun,
spk soon.
