I'm a college student from Massachusetts about to have the most exciting six months of travel of my life! After a brief trip to California, I'll be spending 4 weeks in Greece at an archaeological field school, coming home for a month and a half, and then flying back out to Rome for my fall semester abroad!

Here I am, almost a year after my last post, spending yet another summer palm-first in the dirt. I’m afraid I haven’t been the best blogger – I never reported again from Greece, never wrote during my four months in Rome, and now I’m two weeks into yet another trip, quite frankly only writing at all because the site needed a day to dry out and my labwork is done. I won’t attempt to summarize all of my earlier adventures – even an entire day of free time can’t fit five months of travelling into a blog post – but I will try to pick up with the start of my trip to Northern England, where I am somehow spending yet another summer at an archaeological field school. My journey began on Friday afternoon, June 29th, ... read more

Hello again! In my attempt to be a little timely with my posts, I’ll try to write up the points of interest from the past week, including time at Voidokilia, participation in the St. John’s Day festival, and an absolutely spectacular visit to the archaeological site and museum of Olympia. I also realized that I managed to forget to upload (like that chain of verbs there?) the pictures from our visit to the Palace of Nestor, of which there are quite a few, from the day after we arrived, so I’ll hopefully do that in a separate post soon. On this past Wednesday, after we finished excavation for the day we headed over to one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, Voidokilia. I, predictably, didn’t swim (I actually have yet to swim in Greek waters, ... read more

Here begins my first blog post of my travels to Pylos, Greece! I would try to roll out the drum rolls and fanfares, but since I’ve actually been in Greece for almost two weeks now and have been travelling since June 3, this first post is a little too tardy to merit much applause. Either blogging is not for me, or I didn’t have much to write about while in California and have been much too exhausted this past week to do anything other than dig, eat, and sleep (I bet you can guess which option I prefer). I will hopefully be a little more prompt with my posts in the future, but if not, I should be able to manage once-a-week updates with pictures and a few words about my adventures. Truthfully, if I ... read more
