Rappelling

As we were getting ready to take a bus to our first guided tour after we arrived on Sunday, we paused outside our hotel to view the plaza. A crowd of people had suddenly gathered near us, and began looking up and speaking in German . So we all turned to look in their direction. Our eyes discovered what all the commotion was about. Two men were scaling the glass walls of our hotel. Welcome to the antics of the young!

Some of us actually spoke with the two men who were in their twenties. They had a table in our hotel lobby. I asked them what the purpose was of their feat, thinking it was a marketing ploy. They smiled and answered that they do it on an almost daily basis because it is FUN. I inquired further about the hotel's attitude toward what they do. They answered that the hotel didn't mind. It was then that I knew that this had to be part of a marketing plan.

I would have liked to post a photo of the rappelling but these German computers will not accept my cables so I will have to wait until I get home to post photographs. Sorry! I should have known I was in trouble when I couldn't find certain keys and the letters on the keyboard were in different places.
