Saturday was a slow day. We took a bus to Cuidad de Dios (City of God). The "city" is close to the site we are digging and was excavated by Professor Billman a few years ago. The site was looted constantly because of the presence of gold artifacts so Professor Billman made a deal with the local people. The villagers protect the site for us in exchange for clean water and a school building. This year, Professor Billman is working to build a medical clinic and museum.
