Caro Gunnar, ho riletto il tuo blog, scoprendo che poi non � per niente la prima volta che ti passa quest’orrore . Ho tentato di fare una (modesta) contribuzione ma non ho scoperto finora come devo riempire il modulo bancario via internet. La settimana prossima passera dalla banca per informarmi - perdonammi la mia ignoranza, ma poi [...]

The Agriturismo and friends
So the place that I stayed at along with 16 other people as I mentioned earlier was called the Agriturismo. For all the bad things that happened I actually ended up with the best roommates out of everyone. Cait was my roommate Reese was in the other bedroom of our apartment sharing a room with Katherine. After staying here though I was glad to come back to the states and be able to keep the sho
3rd Weekend trip slightly out of order
June 13th We got Friday off this week as the previous week we had worked 6 days in a row. This trip was taken by everyone as most of the weekend excursions are optional since it's extra money to go as we were told that this is not a place to miss. We visited the Siracuse museum where Pietro actually helped organize a number of the displays in the Sicilian archaeology collections they had t
3rd Weekend trip Part 3
June 15th After getting our free breakfast at the hotel bar cappuccino and a chocolate creme filled croissant...yeah I was being the fat kid that morning we headed back towards the east coast of the island with a few stops on our way back. Oh on the way there we stopped at a gas station to fill up gas is 10 US a gallon by the way and I saw a whole bunch of children surrounding this red
3rd Weekend trip Part 2
June 14th After Caltagirone all of us loaded up into our Fiat Puntos and made the rest of the drive across the island to Agrigento to visit the Valley of the Temples. This is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world and a Unesco world heritage site. We got there fairly late in the day only 2 hours before closing time. There is also some drama associated with this visit betw
3rd Weekend trip Part 1
June 14 This trip was an overnighter so we covered a lot of areas. Ultimate destination was Agrigento where the Valley of the Temples is. Our first stop was an archaeological site Morgantina. They actually excavate on Saturdays so we got to meet the director and see them at work...least to say that actually made me very sad and upset as they were doing things that I came there to learn...y
City of Palermo Sicily
We are calling Bob Leonardocito because he is doing a fab job driving a stick shift in traffic avoiding the millions of Vespas motor scooters. Everyone here has one and dont obey laws. like running through red lights and against traffic and on curbs etc. I am navigating with map and reading road signs. We need the two of to equal one italian driver. between the two of us we are surviving
Trip to Sicilliy Ferry to Mt. Etna
Please excuse the typing and punct. because the keyboard is slightly different than what we have and we are on a limited time to write. Since Lorica is isolated we do not have Internet connection there. We had one of the locals that works at Lorica named JJ take us down the mountain to the train station at Cosenza. While waiting for the train our friend Leonardo who now knows that these cra
Making a friend Leonardo
After the police let us go....or after we ran away from the them we found the train station to be totally vacated. The old man behind the ticket counter felt sorry for us because we were literally stranded due to it being a Sunday. He called his personal friend taxi driver away from his family on a Sunday to come rescue us. He took us 90 minutes up the mountain to our destination a beautful mou
1st Weekend trip Part 2
June 1st Tindari was our second site visit on the weekend. This was a little farther away so we stopped for lunch in Messina and went. Tindari is another Greek site with a theatre and other ruins temple gymnasium mosaics Roman tombs. The city itself was of Greek origin but the theatre is actually Roman construction. We had to park downhill from this area and pay to get bused up. There w
1st Weekend trip
The first weekend trip we went on was to Taormina which was fairly close to where we were about a 30 minute drive. We went to the Naxos Museum which is where all the artifacts from previous work on our site are displayed. We got a tour from the Italian archaeologist that is one of the head directors of our dig who actually did the previous work on our site. He also took us to a very tasty past
Field School
Ok so I have been at the field school for 4 weeks now. I am staying an Agriturismo which is just a term used around here for a redone old farm house. Overall a nice place to stay minus a few factors. The view is fantastic overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. There are 17 people staying here 3 apartments two 4 person apartments and one 9 person. This place is about a 1 hour walk from the beac
Dinner at Duomo
After the teatro greco we went to dinner at a restaraunt on the piazza duomo It was so gorgeous Plus a great photo opp.
This is paradise
We went to the beach Fontane Biache to be exact. It was a mess getting there but totally worth it
Madonna della Lacrame
A few of us went on to see the Catedral de Madonna della Lacrame. Itrsquos this beautiful church built in the shape of a teardrop to represent the tears that a statue of Mary miraculous cried. The statue is now in the center of the church. Dinner on Saturday night was probably the best Irsquove had since coming. And it was pretty much just sausage pizza. Still I was really hungry
My Chteau de Via Roma
Saturday started very early We had another tour of Ortigia by Professor Marco. He basically just told us the same thing as the first our just with a really cute British accent. After that we went and had lunch at a very authentic spaghetti house. The idea was cute but the food was not so good. Still being there you felt like you belonged on the set of ldquoThe Godfather.rdquo In the afte
