Almost done!

Hello all! So I made it before a whole week went past! Mostly because we're just about done and I am about to start traveling in earnest. I can't believe it's been six weeks already! But I am definitely looking forward to Liss and Jenn getting here! The week has gone by pretty much as usual. Work has been fun, and I got to put together my big pot! Which was slightly terrifying and all sortsa awesome ^^ I shall have to show people pictures when I get home! Other than that, we've been poking around Pacheia Ammos, being lazy and loungy!
Blinky! Who loves being pet, and will stand cuddles! (Yes... it's a cat. Yes I picked him up anyways!)
I still walk up the hill at sunrise, which is usually a pretty sight ^^
Ella, chilling in our room. She's been adopted and is going home to America at the end of the trip.
Last night we had a conservation dinner, and the head conservator who has been supervising us, Kathy, took us all to Mochlos to have drinks and dinner. It was quite fun and very tasty!
We stopped at this little bar for a beer. It was very cute and right on the beach with this fabulous view!
And to the other side you could see Mochlos, an island that used to be an isthmus that has a Bronze age (and later) settlement on it.
Me! With my beer! Look how dark it is! Almost... well, all... the beer in Greece is very light for the most part, so it was nice to run into a place with a more expansive beer list!
The moon rose over the mountains as we were having dinner, and it was beautiful and orange, and I wish my camera could have caught it better!
 So tomorrow will be our last day of work, which is sad cause I shall miss it, but fun because it means on to new things! Originally I was thinking the dig would end on Monday, but it kind of ends tomorrow as far as most people are concerned, so my roommate Brett and I are going to go skip around Crete a bit before we leave the island on Tuesday. I promise we'll be safe, mothy! We're just going to go poke around a bunch of ruins like the adventurous archaeology sorts we are. Hope all is well back home, loves to all!
It was nice and clear today, and you could see the mountains quite well!
Oh! And I almost forgot. This is Pretty Kitty, enjoying a box lid. Even in Greece cats are ecstatic over empty box pieces. (>> She's not dead, just napping!)
