TENSION MOUNTS!!
With less than two weeks left of Archaeology, Dr Georgia Bonny Bazemore is kicking butt and NOT taking names to finish her publication for this years Rantidi Forest Season!!
Go, Bonny, go. Hope that you and Brett are finding all the inscriptions. Ride home was smooth enough, nice to be back here, but miss those cool nights and light meals of Cyprus (wink). Thanks for a wonderful 9 days, and see you soon enough back here...Andy
