Oktoberfest Part I

And now a little info on the big trip to Munich. First I must say that although Oktoberfest is mainly about drinking it could also be considered a really HUGE carnival with loads of international people just hanging out, most drinking, very few sober, but hanging out and enjoying their time.
Because we were without reservations we had to arrive early, like 9am when the Mayor doesn't even open the first Keg until 12. We were lucky enough to be there opening day and so were awarded with seeing the parade and mayor walk around. But before that we had plenty of time to see all the tents, which already had super long lines that early in the morning. We opted for not waiting in a huge line for three hours and wondered around looking for a short line, which we eventually found.

This tent had a huge line and we passed it on our way to our first tent. Eventually we were inside here for a drink, but it was super crowded in the morning!

This tent was awesome looking and right across from the tent we started in. It is the dessert tent and sells tons of goodies. After we left our first tent we conveniently walked straight into this place and grabbed an awesome apple-baked thing.

This picture I put up just to show the difference between an average German and myself. obviously they could be a little better looking. And in reality most did look like this blond bar maid behind me.
I wish I could upload more pictures today but I have my first French exam tomorrow morning and should either study for it or rest and hope that my mind remembers something. But tomorrow I will post about what one could do at Oktoberfest along with the kind of people we met and the rides that we should have stayed off of.
Love and Miss everyone back home in the States
