Muenchner Oktoberfest

Yes, we had to experience the real Oktoberfest! Fran, Luke, Casey and John bought authentic Lederhosen and Dirndls to blend in with the crowd. I felt like an outsider even though I was the authentic German in the group. We stayed in a hotel in Starnberg right across the train station. We hopped on the S Bahn at 8 am heading to Muenchen with all the other crazy people. We were able to get into the Hofbraeu Haus tent, and at 9 am had our first beer with a giant bretzel. A completely insane place!!!! Dieter joined us in the afternoon. By 3 pm we were ready to head back to the hotel stepping over the beer casualties.
