I have enjoyed Turkey and the Dig for the past two days I have been here. Of course, I say that not passive aggressively. The scenery whether you’re around town, in the Dig House, or on the site is amazing! Also the dogs on the streets and the tiny little creatures (not spiders or potential scorpions) found at the site. Something that was surprising was how much joy one could get from finding a hole along an adjacent-possibly-attached to the cistern (details to be found out hopefully…we shall see).
One major difference is the temperature and humidity. It’s not too bad since it can do wonders to the skin but it’s definitely not the best. Another would be the Turkish food. Today for dinner they served a dish with eggplant and I didn’t expect it to taste so delicious! Nevertheless, the opportunity to be a part of another culture and experience everything is something that cannot be found at home. Until next time!
