Prost!

Oktoberfest, what can i say??? much to my surprise, it was quite fun. i have always been a sucker for state fairs and amusement parks. well, this place has it all, livestock shows right alongside 100,000 seater beer tents and literally 100's of a-ma-zing, overpriced rides. i am sure these would not be legal in the states. and it's bizarre to me that wasted people think it's still a good idea to put themselves on these spinny rides when they can't even stand up... nonetheless, it wasn't too crazy busy and i enjoyed my three visits to the world's largest beer fest.
this particular evening, (sorry the picture won't work) my mom and stepdad went with me. we were outside at the hofbrauhaus tent for hours, talking with complete strangers and having a grand time. we sat by a couple from england and australia, next to german boys, and the guys next to me are a group of spaniards who make an annual trip here. way too many languages all over the place, much laughing and prosting!
Cheers!
