Summertime

brigdhI have plans for the summer now! Okay, well, they're more the outline of plans rather than the type with nice schedules and all the details filled in, but for now they will work, particularly as they at least allow me to tell people where I will be and when.
I'm going to Cyprus for slightly over a month, to work on the excavation of Bronze Age village. It's not actually the area I'm interested in, but seeing as the most appropriate project was canceled for "political instability"*, this will have enough technical similarities of excavation to be useful. Plus, it's much better to be doing something, anything, than sitting in New York all summer. The site's right near the middle of the island, just a little south of Nicosia. I have to be there on May 27th, and so I will disappear from the internet shortly before that. There's a chance that I might still have intermittent access to email; more likely not, and in a few weeks I'll probably post an address so I can instead guilt you all into writing me letters.
It's still an improvement over my experience in Nevada, as this comes with, you know, electricity and running water and other such extravagant modern refinements.
That ends the 24th of June, but I'll still be on Cyprus for the rest of the week to visit other sites and places (I don't know anyone who lives in Cyprus, do I? If I do, let me know and we could meet up). On the 29th, I'm flying into London. Since I've never been in London before, or anywhere in England, I decided not to buy a flight home immediately, and I'll be there for the weekend, until the 3rd. Again, if people would like to meet up (and actually somehow know their schedules two months in advance), just let me know.
So! That's my summer. Mainly, I'm just glad to finally know where I'll be.
*Although Cyprus itself has led to my mom calling me to announce things like "Did you realize you'll only be 600 miles from Baghdad?!" and mispronounce Lebanon; clearly I never should have taught her how to use google.
