A Good Day - by Emily B.

Emily B. and Melinda B. screening at the Dana Adobe
Today was a good day. It started with a delicious bowl of frosted flakes and a cup of hot coffee. Everyone was just getting up, so I just hung out and enjoyed the morning. I've lived in San Luis Obispo County all of my life, and I have only spent one weekend in Lopes Lake before this trip. It's pretty amazing how beautiful it is here. Only a few miles away and I feel like I'm in another world. We piled in the car and drove to the Dana Adobe. I never knew it existed before this trip, which is sad because there is so much history in it. I loved reading all of the articles for this week because they are all about my home town. My team worked with Gilbert, Christina and Sarah (all from Albion Environmental) today, which was super fun and intimidating! I never thought I would be interested in historical archaeolgoy but after today I would consider it in the future. We worked with a 2 x 2 meter unit and a 1 x 1 meter control unit. At first it was frustrating because we could not stake our nails in and had to back-stake all of the corners, but after uncovering a possible stone barn foundation, it made sense. Everyone was super supportive, communicative and patient which really helped take the pressure off. Overall, this experience has been life changing!
