OMG SYRIA

[brigdh]

So, right! Details about this whole thing. I'm leaving for Syria, uh, tomorrow. I'll be there for nine weeks, working on the Umm el-Marra project. It's a Bronze Age city with an elite cemetery, which is most of what we'll be working on this summer. It's in the north-east of the country, sort of between Aleppo and the Turkish border, though I'm flying in to Damascus (doesn't that sound exciting?)

I'll be back on July 25th, and so am unlikely to respond to comments or emails until then (since, alas, once again I won't have regular internet access).

Bon voyage, and have fun, stay safe!

I can't wait to see pictures, that's going to be awesome.

Hey Syria is right next door to me ^_^ I've never been there, but I hear it can be great ^_^ (watch out for the local shops and taxi drivers, I hear they like to overcharge tourists ;)).

Enjoy your trip!

Ack! You're probably already in the air, but I hope you have a great time in Syria.

And congrats on your Masters! :cD
