Day two of my Religious Pilgrimage to the Oktoberfest in Munich. Fun using my German again on a daily basis, my German friends tell me I’m fluent in it but I know better. I do very well and speak with a mixed Hessian and Bavarian dialect without an American accent. I can carry on normal conversation as long as it doesn’t get too technical.
We arrived in Munich about 1230 on Saturday and our group left our hotel about 1630 to go to the Fest. It was a lot of fun being with friends. We tried to find a table at the Lowenbrau tent but ended up in the Biergarten at the Paulaner tent across the way. We had a blast, got back to the hotel about 2230, Judy crashed and I went down with some of our friends to the hotel bar for more beer. After a total consumption of somewhere between five and six liters of beer I went up and crashed for the night.
Today after an amazing breakfast at the hotel we are out again this time at the Lowenbrau tent. Again a lot of fun. The music, the party atmosphere and the fun talking with people from Germany and other countries.
I think tonight we will go to the Hofbrauhaus for more bier and dinner. Judy made the comment this morning that it will be hard not seeing our friends everyday, kind of like leaving church camp. But then this is a religious pilgrimage.
So anyway, until tomorrow…
Peace
