Our last day in Nevis. Yesterday after the final we spent the day at the pool and beach. Today we chilled, packed, and just hung out. It was a good way to end the trip.
Fond memories of me and Greg and lab
This study abroad trip was far from perfect. At one point, Dr. Fitzpatrick looked at me and went "Well, Alyson, at least now you know what it's like to be on a dig where everything that can go wrong, does go wrong." But even with all the problems, this was a fantastic experience. It was my first archaeological dig, and that I'll never forget. This confirmed what I want to do with my life. I met some great people whom I'm sure I'll keep in touch with. At least one, anyway. I learned to Scuba dive. I climbed a mountain. I lived in a foreign country for a month and learned about the culture and history. I explored a rainforest and ate exotic fruit. I found a burial. I waited out a tropical storm in a tiny, open air bungalow. I defeated some large insects. I learned about bee keeping. And I had some damn fun nights. Overall this was the trip of a lifetime and I know it's something I'll never forget.
I don't know exactly what to say to wrap this up. I'm not sure that the perfect words actually exist. So Nevis, thanks for everything. And to my fellow study abroadees, thanks for an incredible trip. Yall mean the world to me.
Some really awesome people
