What a terrific first week! Amongst many returnees and a few newbies (myself in the latter), we've gotten off to a successful start. Flying in just from Manchester, I was one of the few lucky ones not to require a day in the air getting here. But among rampant jetlag everyone was ready to go bright and early Tuesday to get going, and we're off to a great start to the season.
We've opened a new trench above the theatre across from the viewing turret, and were fortunate enough to find features within just inches of the initial cut. The sun's somewhat relentless but we're all getting bronzed (and burnt) as we're settling in, eating copious amounts of Cypriot food and swimming in the sea. It's hard to beat a workplace where you can take a post-excavation swim! Certainly an appeasement to the initial aches that always accompany the start of a dig. A day off now but anxious to begin the second week, we're thinking fantastical thoughts of mosaics; you never know!
