Update on excavations: we have uncovered all outside walls of Structure 1 and will start working on the roof tomorrow! Jess and I have been working on profiling walls, which takes a lot more patience and long-suffering than I possess. That involves mapping in each and every stone in a given wall, no matter how long the wall, how small or large the stones, etc. But, we are getting through it.
Update on weather: It was really nice weather up until last Friday, when it poured on us in the morning. And now it hasn't stopped, and now there has been long and intensive downpours which have drowned everything. This morning, at exactly 248am, I woke up to find my bedskirt soaked. I still don't know where it came from, but the cleaning ladies replaced the skirt today, so perhaps I will never know where the leak came from. We had to walk into the field today, which was a long and very muddy hike. The road has deep gullies in it from all the rain. We will have to continue to hike back, instead of driving straight to the site, until they fix the road again. In other and related news, the mosquitoes will soon be out in force.
