This creation was built yesterday by Ben. Ben is from France, and the guy sitting on the chair next to him is his friend Thomas...also from France. The "s" in Thomas is silent in the French pronunciation...so it actually sounds like Thoma.
In the first picture, Neil is in the background. Cindy runs the backpacker, and Neil is her husband. They come in to check, get your weekly fee, clean, talk about work, and bring clean sheets every once in a while.
Anyway, this began as a game of Jenga. Then the Jenga pieces turned into the building of this tower. We joked this is what the French do when they get bored, and that is why they have the Eiffel Tower.
It got higher and higher until it was taller than Ben himself. He said he was too nervous and had become too small to go any further, so he stopped there. The yellow bottle towards the top is what I contributed. It was mine, filled with lemonade, and I finished it just in time to add to the tower.
What about the French and the Rugby final? Is there a rivalry at the backpacker? Must be crazy over there. I am cheering for the All Blacks. It's on TV in the US, so I am going to watch.
