So, you may well remember from my first post that I was heading for Tunisia on April 30. So you might think, "Hey. Is Kevin posting from Tunisia?" The answer would be no. First of all, it would take too long to translate my post into Arabic, send it with a messenger on a camel to Blogger in San Francisco and have them post it. Second, I'm not in Tunisia...I'm still in Florida. A very unfortunate event occurred about a month and a half ago which set in motion other events that led to me changing my thesis topic and thus not going to Tunisia. Instead, I will be heading to Italy on Monday, working at Cetamura for 6 weeks, then spending on week in Pompeii working on my new thesis which concerns the conservation of mosaics at Pompeii. So, the next time I post, it will be from Italy because it certainly is easier to translate it into Italian and send it with the Pope-mobile than through all that sand in Tunisia. So stay tuned for the adventures of Cetamura and Pompeii 2007.
