San Evildino

I’m absolutely exhausted, sitting in Heathrow right now. After our last dinner up on the barruff the whole group headed to Victoria for the last festa. We ended up going into the parish/nightclub, which was a ton of fun. Sadly Bryce and I had to leave to catch the 3:45 am ferry though. So we said our goodbyes and headed off to Malta. Once there we caught the shuttle to the airport – took the flight to London and now here I am.

These past few days were really relaxing, yet I’d like to think I did a decent amount of work, at least when it comes to the analysis of my research.  And I also got to make cheese and work on a farm for a day with Marjan and Greta. Now to get home and write!

I’m really glad our whole field school group was such a cool group of people too. Now I have not only great academic connections, but also some really good friends across the world. I really do plan on taking a trip to Belgium and Ireland (and of course around the US) sometime to visit them all!

I don’t really have too much to say, as it’s so hard to put it all into words, about my first “European experience.” But I really did enjoy everything, even the fact that there is no such thing as a line or that people refuse to move when you ask “excuse me.” I hope one day I get to go back to Gozo and even hopefully see Malta as I did not see a thing apart from the airport and ferry harbor.
