Whoa! It was a bit chillier this morning. The temps were in the 30's. It is amazing how we became used to the warm weather so quickly. It did get up into the 50's today, but will cool down again tonight. We got to talking to a woman at breakfast this morning. She is here with her Pekingese and will show him in the dog show this weekend. She reminded me of a character in "Best of Show"! She was obviously lonely and wanted to talk - I thought we were going to be late for work, but we did get there on time. Dave continued sorting artifacts. His big find today was a wolf's tooth. He also found another bone pin. I spent the day entering the sorted items into the computer. I did manage to finish about 4 PM today so that I could return the computer. We said good-bye to Margo (the head archaeologist) as she will be in the Everglades next week taking a course to be certified to pilot a boat. She now has to rely on park rangers to drive her to some of the remote sites in the Everglades. She said she was sorry to see us go and that she would hire us if we wanted to relocate - NOT! She did say she would sent us a copy of the report on the Gumbo Limbo Hammock dig and that our names would be in it - very cool. We went to Shoney's for dinner tonight and had their seafood buffet: catfish, shrimp, stuffed blue crab, salmon, seafood salad - along with all the normal fixings. We will stay in this evening and are looking forward to the weekend.
