The weekend

We went exploring again the next evening in search of the elusive river, and we finally found it!! There were lots of tourists but it was still very cool. There were tonnes of tents lining the river banks which was interesting. It was all crappy tourist shit of course but still was fun to wander around and look at. A bird flew into my shot just as I took it and I think it worked well!

A street artist was playing classical guitar and the sun was setting so it became very picturesque. The old stone walls were also very cool.

Digging the next day was the most satisfying day yet even though it was sweltering hot and there was no breeze. Our team discovered a small walled room so spent the day uncovering the walls to find out its exact size. It was very eroded and made it hard work as it often crumbled away as we uncovered the wall. I also got to spent the afternoon brushing which cleaned the stones better and really brought them to light, it was super fun and rewarding.  In the afternoon we started to go a bit nuts from the heat. 

Here you can see my other friend also called Joe (hence the nickname Loki) pretending to be Leia from Star Wars with our dust masks.

That night we were going to go explore the Spanish steps and Trevi fountain but the fountain was closed and under construction and my sandal broke before I could get to the Spanish steps which is extremely annoying and I have to go sandal hunting today. We did come across a cat sanctuary in the city which was made up of ruins, I think one of the girls said something about the three temples of victory.  It was very cool and there was a very fluffy cute three legged cat. 

After that I went home and we had a glass of wine on the balcony. Today, Tarquinia!
