Kaafiyas and dust

Mmmm Jordan.

So tasty.

Well the food is good but life is as well. I'm talking waking at 415 and rocking out. Well, less that, more wishing I couldn't hear the minaret's speakers (ore on them later).

My day starts around 415, I lie for a bit then get up and head to the roof. Myself Mark and Zoe do some stretches up there. The rooms can get a bit stuffy so the roof and its accompanying breeze usually do the trick when it comes to bringiong down the core temp a wee bit. After that we head down and get ready. Breakfast at 5, pack a second breakfast and we're in the van at 530 driving towards teh site (about an hour away). From there we organize tools and head to our respective dig sites (more on that later). Dig dig dig. Second breakfast and sometimes Bedouin brewed tea around 10 then back to work. We usually pack up and head home at 1 and then have lunch when we get back. Afternoons are for cleaning pottery and paper work (or free time as the case may be) then suddenly it's supper and everyone is pretty wiped. Goodnight.
