PictureCheers to Oktoberfest!
When I first met Trish back in March in Tokyo, literally on day 2 of knowing each other she goes - "so a big group of us are going to Oktoberfest this year...you should come."  She already knew what kind of traveler I was - and 6 months later of course I was on that trip!   Not too much to write about this portion of our 10 day trip...mostly just dirndle shopping and lots of beer in heavy steins that made for a great arm workout!

Trip Highlights

We arrived in Munich, after our quick flight over from Berlin - ate some lunch and then headed over to Marienplatz.

Our most critical task of the day...dirndle shopping!  Near Marienplatz there were a couple shops and thankfully our entire group found something to wear.
Picture
So many choices!
Shopping complete...of course we had to treat ourselves to beer at Hofbrauhaus afterwards!

Let the drinking begin!   We had tickets to the Schottenhamel tent and spent the first half of our day there.  Standing on the tables, drinking beer, eating the most amazing rotisserie chicken and singing along with the band!
