Lots of new people arriving for this last week. Mother-daughter team, obviously loaded. Daughter is 17, acts 13- annoying and precocious, won't stop hitting on all the 30 year old Israelis, chattering at them constantly about her private high school while they try to escape. Entertaining. Also new- the wife of the Latvian ambassador (very nice!) and a Finnish graduate student by the name of Carolina. She used to be a gymnast, has the body of a Norse goddess, wears absolutely nothing to the dig. Also incredibly nice, works like an ox, knows her stuff- it gives a girl a complex.
They closed the other area, which hit the foundation of the Crusader fortifications and found virgin sand, so we're working with lots of their lot for the first time. They seem to be a tighter knit group, entirely of Israelis, with slight attitudes and smoking habits but big muscles and some experience. Used them to bring the whole area down to the level of the new architecture. Still using total destruction methods- hell with record keeping, nothing matters but the wall.
D and Sh took off to Jerusalem today to see some fresco work at the Rockerfeller museum related to Sh's thesis. D brought back all sorts of interesting news about a fellowship there that I am having wild fantasies about but not the courage to pursue. Sh's last night here, so down to the beach with him for a good swim, drinks, pizza. I've really gotten to like those Polish boys. They're so cute by the beach too- lovely swimmers, and just so EXCITED about the whole beach idea.
