Day 11 - May 13th, 2008

I didn't know what to think about today when it began.

We had a site visit to Eurocopter, which I hoped wouldn't be as boring as the last two visits. It was alright. The helicopters were really cool, but the guide could have been more energetic. And once again, a German's cellphone went off during a presentation. Is that not a big deal here? I don't think we've had one presentation besides Riegele, where the top gun's cell phone didn't go off.

After the site visit, we went to the "Climbing Garden," which no one, including Josh and John, knew anything about. It was great fun though! It was basically a high ropes course in the woods, which about 5 or 6 different courses. And every single one ended with a zip line from a tall tree down to the ground, which I'm sure not gonna complain about. We stayed there for about 2 hours, which was just enough time to finish all of the course offerings. And I ended with the longest and highest zip line, which was a good end to the course.

For dinner we got Dönners, which are delicious and definitely not American. They seem to be served in pizza shops a lot "Dönners and Pizzas!". They're some combination, depending of the place, of chicken, lamb, and or beef, sliced off a huge rotating rack. They're put into large pitas with lettuce, tomatos, I think coleslaw, and a thick garlic sauce. I got mine with just the lettuce and sauce, and it was a good meal. With a Spezi of course. My god, I could bathe in Spezis.

That night we hung around the hotel and played some games, with a bedtime of about 11 or 11:30. Tomorrow we have to leave at 7 am for Audi, which should be one hell of a day.
