Today... was busy. Monday, at the work site in Rio Tinto. I dropped off laundry, including shirts of [profile] patgreene's, [personal profile] sarahh's and [personal profile] dawnd's that had been steeping in the ph=2 water since last Tuesday. And spent today doing spectral scans of rock cores, pyrite from about 80m down. And surprised [personal profile] geekchick with a phone call :).

This evening, I was in the taberna inglesia at 2am, the only English-speaking person there... loud and noisy, and I called Nancy... we talked, she remarked that it was surreal to be chatting with me in a small-town Spanish bar, drinking Cuban rum at 2am. "Your life reminds me of Hemingway" she said. "Um... I hope not!" I replied. Interesting, sure... this has been a good couple of years, with fun work and travel opportunities.



Here are the shirts, weighed down with rocks to keep them submerged in the blood-red water of the Rio Tinto headwaters... note the yellow crystallline sulfur at the water's edges.


And here's my work area, scanning cores in a small storage room in the mining museum ;).

What color did the shirts end up being?

As far as Hemingway... You haven't developed a hankering for bullfighting, have you?

Sort of a Sevillian yellow-orange... and no! Heh. Not even with two Cuba libres...
