Let the Greek Games Begin!

Monday, May 18, 2009

Well just after a busy and exciting weekend, another week of class commenced and one full of work too. Although there were projects to be worked on a laundry to be done, there is always some time for some bonding with our group. It had been a while since we had all gotten together as a group but we finally had an activity where we got to know everyone a little more. Today we participated in an activity where we all wore our shirts that color coded us by team. Depending on what color shirt you were wearing, is what decided what team you were part of.

In our Greek Games Activity we had several challenges we competed against in teams. I was in the black team. The activities were an orange pass that you could only pass using your neck, then there was a limbo contest, and lastly we had a water balloon toss. The team who won the most points would be declared the winner. We did this in the public parc in Bordeaux and it was quite interesting to see how many French residents gathered around to see us play.

The activity was a lot of fun and we were able to get to know some more people on the trip. As of right now the Black team is tied for second with other teams and hopefully we will take the title the next time we have this event in Lyon.
