Tuesday February 3, 2009




We had a very relaxing evening last night and slept like logs when we finally went to bed - we had a very busy day! This bottom picture is a conch shell that had been used as a hammer - very cool. Today we pulled examples of pottery that had been found at various sites: Everglades, Key Largo, Sanibel Island, Miami , etc. That took us most of the morning as we had to find each one (there are about 100 boxes and each box has two levels and each level has four quadrants. In each quadrant are any where from 1 to 12 plastic bags with multiple specimens in each bag - so just finding the correct item takes a bit of doing even though everything is labeled. After lunch, we photographed all of the selected items in each category. We will include a couple of the photos so you can see the kinds of things we handled all day (see top of blog). We went to dinner at a Cuban restaurant tonight: The Black Bean - very good, but again, we will be having leftovers tomorrow night. We are now waiting for the laundry to be done so we will have clean clothes for the rest of the week. I'm not sure what we will be doing tomorrow, but that is the fun of it - always something new. We are still enjoying the warmer temps - 38 on our walk this morning and 57 on the way home from work - very nice.
