We did go to the Macaroni Grill last night and had a lovely dinner. We had plenty of leftovers to take back to the room. We watched a little TV and did some reading before going to bed. We slept much better last night. Got up at 6 to a temp of 46 and went for a walk. Came back and showered and then went to breakfast. We had packed our lunches last night so we were all set to go to work. We will probably be doing a variety of jobs, but we spent most of the day working with Carla. We were refiling a number of shell artifacts (4 boxes worth) from the Everglades. Some of them were very interesting. Who knew that the early people living in that area used conch shells as hammers? Of course, they don't have tons of rocks as we have in New England. Tomorrow we will be pulling artifacts out of boxes - hopefully not the same ones we put away today! Only kidding, we will be working with ceramics tomorrow. We think we will be going on a dig next week on the Swanee River - will let you know the details as we get them. We met a number of FSU students at the lunch room. We were dirty and tired when we got back to the motel and we were actually happy that we had leftovers for dinner as we need to put our feet up. We will try to bring the camera in tomorrow and put some pix in the blog tomorrow so you all can see what we are working with. The weather is certainly nice - it was 64 when we got out of work at 5:15.
