Oktober Fest

Well, we survived Oktoberfest!!! What a wonderful time we had! I wish all of you could have come-although I know that's not possible, so we took some great pictures of a few special moments.

Coming off the escalator, we were greeted by this view..

 It was just after 10 AM on opening day; this was before anything was open.

all dressed up waiting for the parade

"aren't they cute?"

All kinds of outfits...

This guy was very Happy!

 Now- this lady was funny! She was riding side-saddle on this horse, lead by the man in the front. However; she kept "almost" sliding off which is where the man on the side comes in...he kept pushing her back on!! LOL

one of my Favorite People..the German Polize!

Doesn't this man look like he belongs in a Shakespearean Play?

The Boy's favorite Beer tent!

Alright guys...they are saying Hello!!

And let us not forget our schnapps!

I couldn't forget the wine drinkers!

 And what can I say about the following guy...his outfit is too small. He should have waxed. And the shoes and socks...a BIG NO-NO!

plus it's too short.

This years hats

 We went into a place for lunch and our "First Beer". We were seated at a very crowded table that had the best people! We met this wonderful couple with whom we became instant friends, and spent the entire evening with. Needless to say, when you hit-it-off with someone that quickly "Life long friendship is a given!!

Linda and Dennis 

They have lived in Munich for the last four years. Dennis works for Micro-Soft. His job has him traveling quite a bit, and Linda usually goes with him. Her favorite place so far? Israel!
 Well that about sums thing up..Rich and I enjoyed all of this with Chris and Cousin Linda as well, I'm already looking forward to next year!!!!!! And to all on the Train ride home...
