Another very long day of site hunting! The roads are very bad, and the terrain is not friendly to bare legs in any fashion. I have never seen so many varieties of plants with thorns in one place in my life! I am sure in the "Handbook of Archaeology" (if there is such a thing) that it says to wear pants, long sleeve shirts, always carry a trowel, bring lots of water, and SPF 60 will not always be enough. Each day teaches me something new, I love it.
