Thank goodness for something other than bagels, peanut butter, and jelly (our breakfast for the past six days)!<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day consisted of free time in town and at the dorm. A big group went on a field trip to Haley&#8217;s Bar and Grill to watch Croatia play England in the FIFA World Cup semi-finals over a huge plate of nachos. Croatia came out with the big win, but not before a suspenseful overtime.<\/p>\n<p>Post-game, we visited the local bookstore to decompress from our sports-related stress, returning to the dorms later for snacks and lunch before heading out again on another adventure: an afternoon swim at Egg Lake.<\/p>\n<p>For dinner, two acheologists working with the National Parks Service, Jeremy Ripin and Emilio Santiago, were our guests. Over a meal of cottage pie, They engaged us in conversations about carbon dating, local artifacts, concluding the night with an informative presentation on archeology. Jeremy and Emilio surprised us by laying out several artifacts from the local collection for observation, ranging from arrowheads to ceramic mugs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6128\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6128\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6128\" src=\"http:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P7110084-640x427.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P7110084-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P7110084-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/salishseasciences.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P7110084-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Observing bottle shards, arrowheads, and ceramic pieces<\/p><\/div>\n<p>All in all, today was a chill, restful day.
