1) Man hauling kegs
2) Another oom pa pa band in the Loewenbraeu tent
3) Too much to drink...note the Lederhosen...a true Bavarian
4) The famous Hofbraeu tent
5) Party on the table...lots of people were up on the benches, singing traditional songs, and just going crazy. This bunch for whatever reason left their beers on the table. Tempted to be sneaky and take em, but no go.
6) The people in one of the 9 or 10 beer tents
7) Me polishing off another Mass
8) Oktoberfest from above...look at the people (I think that was Monday too)
9) Ride like the swing of the century, except 50 meters above ground. Great view of the grounds.
Oktoberfest opening weekend. What to say. What a festival. I've already decided that should I ever get married, my stag party will be in Munich during Oktoberfest. It clearly is the best beer fest of the world (and maybe I haven't been to many, but there's a reason it has such a good name). Big beers, beautiful women in traditional dress, loads of drunken Aussies and Americans (and I suppose a few Canucks too), pretzels, it's just great. It's like Kdays with beer. Lots of beer. Long story short, opening Saturday was so busy, I couldn't get a seat anywhere, and that meant no beer. But Sunday morning, I was there bright and early at about 9, and the Frau comes right over and offers you a Mass right off the bat. One liter of beer for breaky. Breakfast of Champions.
