Fall is here. High in the 50's, frost on the ground. Supposedly, they don't get much snow in the winter, but its getting colder here fast. We went down to Munich this last weekend and got to see opening day of Oktoberfest. It starts with a parade, then the Mayor cracks the first keg, and then everyone flocks to a beer hall to consume the specially prepared bier and food. The atmosphere is amazing, people from all over the world enjoying themselves togethor. The rest of the festival is somewhat like a state fair with carnival rides and booths with food and souveniers for sale.
In the afternoon we checked out downtown Munich, saw the Glockenspiel, but didn't catch in ringing. And had a wonderful meal at a local place in the shopping district. We're both under the weather a bit, so we took it a little easy. Ashley should have photos of the weekend up on her blog soon.
