Scavanger Hunt

This is our happy group of scavangers. Going clockwise we have American Jenny, American Me, French Ivan, Mexican Eduardo, Spanish Carlos, and Spanish Raul. Hungarian Sophie had to leave early. After our scavanger hunt we found a restaurant that could accomodate our group, we chose an outside table, it turned out to be an alley. =)

One thing Jenny's team had to do was get a a kiss from a grandma. This nice little old lady thought it was hilarious. I love this picture. They are having so much fun.

On my list of things to do was sell something in my possession. Lucky for me I just happened to have an orange in my backpack. Who wouldn't want to buy a perfectly delicious orange for a euro cent? I was wishing I had my orange still when we were wandering the streets looking for a place to eat though.

Since the guards at the Palace were off duty, Jenny, Raul, and Eduardo had to find couple of cops to make friends with. Apparently, these two friendly law enforces got a kick out of our game, but they weren't able to find any others as willing to participate. Go figure.

I think they may have had some previous cheerleader training!

First thing on our list was to form a human chain with ten people. No problem! I have no idea where these people were from but they helped us!

Our directions told us to wade in the barely visable fountain behind us and sing YMCA. Since we didn't much feel like getting arrested we chose to get as close to the fountain as we could. The folks at the bus stop near by looks pretty nervous, but they helped us take our picture anyway.

Next up, Cat's Hostel. We found it no problem. Well actually we had to turn down a few wrong streets before we found the right one... but it was more or less no problem.

I got this young American to trade me a few pence for some euro cents. They'll come in handy when I'm in London next week.

I think all in all everyone had a good time. Everyone we talked about the game to thought it sounded fun. I think we are hoping to play a bigger city-wide version in the coming months. Stay tuned.
