Integration Weekend
We went to La Rochelle for our integration weekend. It was a lot of fun, and we really got to know each other. We left the residence at 5:30 am (ouch!) and took the RER to Paris, where we caught the metro to the train station, then took the train to La Rochelle, where we caught a bus to some other town about an hour away. Very long ride, but a lot of fun. After we unpacked we went to a vineyard. Beautiful country, crap wine. :D
The next day we went to the beach and had some team building exercises, including tug of war and team 'chants'...a little routine we made up in 15 minutes. A lame game of dodgeball (only 1 ball) and lots of fun in the sun.
The next day we went back to La Rochelle and toured the town until it was time for the train. There's the brief overview. Now for the nitty gritty....as we're approaching the 'camp site', they tell us that we're in bungalows (this is apparently french for tiny trailer) 6 of us in 4 beds, 4 boys and 2 girls. The first room I looked in had a queen bed, the next thing I saw was a tiny sleeping area similar to a tent trailer when you put the table away and turn it into a bed. I decided to opt for door number 3, just my luck!!! 2 twin beds. :D The girl and I took that bedroom and made the guys sleep together >:0) They weren't happy about that, but they got over it quickly.
Not much more to tell than that, lots of team building exercises and good times. Now for pictures....
