It's Go Time

I've got my passport.  I've got my dirndl packed.  I've got the lights on timers.  I cleaned out the fridge.  And I have a change of underwear in my carry-on.  I'm ready!

This afternoon we fly to Prague; I'll be gazing up at the Astronomical Clock by this time tomorrow.

Pivo, prosim! 
(Beer, please!)

See you on the other side.

I'm On Wimmer

So it turns out that a litre of beer (serving size in Oktoberfest tents) is almost 34 fluid ounces.  Yesterday, in about six hours, we drank 4.5 litres...I'll let you do the math. Somehow (surely alcohol had nothing to do with it) we got turned around and went out the wrong side of the festival grounds.  And instead of being a seven minute walk back to the apartment, it was about an hour and seven minutes.  It's funny today - although my head hurts when I laugh.  Joe and I were arguing about where we were and my inability to find our location on Google Maps.  We tried to call Uber, but I couldn't tell them where we were...having no idea myself.  I finally realized that we'd gone out the wrong side, and we simply had to go back in, cross the park, and go out the other side.  Joe insisted something else, but I'd taken off ahead of him towards the fest and only heard bits of yelling as I strode away. Once out the other side, things started lookin...

Sorry for the late post, our internet was not connecting properly. Yesterday we arrived and headed straight for the beer garden at the airport.  Even though it's at the airport omg that was good. We are crazy tired, and at this point almost anything would be good, but the food and the beer here was outstanding!  We got to our apartment and rested for a bit, and then set out to get Joe some authentic German clothes.  Found 'em...at a department store.  Like Dillards with a whole section devoted to Oktoberfest wear...gotta love it! On Wednesday, we headed over to the park.  We've been to Oktoberfests and to GABF, but this was a bit different...4 million people, 20+ tents, soooo much beer, and everyone dressed to the nines. I'm ready for Oktoberfest! The Queen of Bavaria First beer Yeah, what about it? Love the banners! So much fun!  I can't wait to go back tomorrow!  And...l...

What A Great Trip!

Time to fly home.  We had such a good time.  We ticked several things off of our bucket list, and revisited some of our favorite sights.  We dressed up like locals and drank in, not only good beer, but loads of Bavarian culture.  We found new restaurants and beer joints, and we made new friends.  We toured fabulous museums and wept at silent memorials.  There's a quote somewhere about travel being the only thing people buy and never regret.  Our memories will last far beyond today, and there'll be another pin in the map. So long and thanks for traveling with us!
