Oktoberfest

Munich is well known for Oktoberfest. For the past few weeks we have been seeing many people dressed in traditional attire, the women in dirndls and the men in lederhosen. Last weekend we walked around the fairground making our way through the large crowd of tourists and locals. People sit together in large crowded tents and drink large glasses of beer for hours on end. Unfortunately, many of them had had too much to drink, often running right into us if we weren’t careful. We didn’t go into any tents or taste the beer, but Steve did try a Bratwurst (that hung out the sides of the bread) to complete the German experience.
