After I wrote, we had a few days of sunshine, but it has been raining here since Sunday. Everything is wet, wet wet. Our clothes are wet and muddy, our shoes are wet and muddy. Even things that haven't actually gotten wet feel kind of wet. Usually we spend only sleeping hours in our tents, but there is just no where to go when it is raining. One is under a champa or in a tent. Life is just much harder here when it is raining. That is why archaeologists work in the dry season. Well, this year, it seems like they are working in the wet season.
Today Bill and David leave camp to try to get to the airport in Guatemala City tomorrow. Bill is taking David to a soccer tournament with his Bolts team in Richmond, VA. Originally they were going to leave tonight at 10 pm. Now because they have no idea how bad the road out of here might be they are leaving at 8 am right after breakfast. When the road is dry and in good shape it takes about 2 1/2 hours to get out of the jungle to a paved road. I hope to hear from them when they get out, and I hope it isn't too awful.
