I’ve put in countless hours of training for this Oktoberfest, although I must admit it I am by far not the most prepared. I am, however, ready to give it my best shot. This is just going to be one of those crazy weekends that come around every once in awhile, where there is just non-stop activity. Our friend, Rich (the guy on the left), is having a bunch (about 85) of people coming to visit him here in Munich this weekend, and he has a walking tour planned for Saturday afternoon, a dinner at 8pm, followed by late-night clubbing. Sunday morning is being reserved for recuperating, b/c from 5pm til Midnight we will all be hanging out at Oktoberfest and drinking beer (except for Barbie who will be drinking wine). The bierzelt (beer tent) we are staying at is actually a heffeweissen and wine tent, so we won’t be getting the Liter beers that are so famous, but not to worry, b/c we are going back with Cisco on Sept. 31st, and we will have plenty of oppurtunities then. I would have to say I am pretty excited about going to Oktoberfest, as it is probably on my top 20 things to do in a lifetime (I’ll post those later).
