We are at the halfway mark of the excavation season at Lago Di Venere and the great progress continues. Although it is a lot of hard work, it is just another part of the process that allows us to learn about the history of the island. The sense of accomplishment that I feel when I see how much progress we have made is worth every scrape of the trowel under the hot Mediterranean sun. A nice swim at Gadir at the end of the week also makes working and learning here that much more amazing.
