Morning = productive
Afternoon = inefficient

This was today, and I'm ok with that.

We started off with breakfast, including some rather badly made coffee, courtesy of myself, Ross, and our new percolator. We'll just have to get used to bad coffee, I think.

After that, we took artifacts out of boxes, moved boxes around, put artifacts back in boxes in a more organized fashion and generally did some archaeological house-keeping. We'll continue doing that today. In fact, this is what the trip is all about; organizing what has previously been found, though Ross has said we will go out a few times on some field trips.

Anyway, we got quite a bit done before lunch and had great plans to get much more done after. All we managed to do was buy new boxes and get the rest of the artifacts over to the house. I guess tomorrow is the day to finish sorting everything by site and next week we start analyzing.

Speaking of lunch, we had Chinese food. It wasn't bad. Better than mall stuff.

Today is the marking point of Laura and I being together for two years. I tried to make an international call home, but failed miserably due to my own incompetence. I realized after that the people at the internet café had given me the wrong code (don't use the Toronto area code before the Vancouver area code; it won't work). I will call tomorrow. Actually, the entire process at the internet café was rather frustrating. The connection was slow, I was tired, the phone thing failed, and I only managed to get on blog entry in and none of my pictures. I've thought of a system, though, that should speed things along, so pictures and updates are forthcoming.
