Well, today was our last full day of work- tomorrow we store the pottery and work gear in the temple pylon, and leave Edfu. I've spent the last few days working extra-long days (6am to 4pm) drawing pottery for our ceramicists, since we have stopped excavating. I like drawing because it's very zen- just you and the pot. It can be frustrating sometimes though because of how precise we have to be and occasionally we fantasize about throwing the pot sherds or breaking the into a million tiny pieces. At the same time, Tasha and Kat have been running around packing stuff up and doing last minute recording. On top of that, Janelle's block yard benches were finally finished, so she had to get all the blocks on them before we left. It's been a crazy few days!

working on. The benches were completed with only
two days to spare! |

Kat making box lists of pottery, as Kiri plays with string
(the boxes have been her playground each year with us). |
Now it's time to pack up the apartment and play luggage tetris with my stuff to try and make it fit into one bag. This time tomorrow, we'll be hanging out in Luxor waiting to fly to Cairo! Goodbye, Edfu! See you next year!
